Chapter 41 Gorgeously Dressed Dogs

Entering the cabinet is equivalent to entering the heart of the country, and those who enter the cabinet with the book of the criminal department are simply unprecedented and unprecedented, and Lord Yue is not a Jishi. Although he entered the cabinet like this, he was very despised by the people in Shilin, but Lord Yue was already despised by Shilin, and it was not bad to do it again.

Fang Congzhe and Yue Su walked together, now both of them are cabinet scholars, and it is natural for them to sit on an equal footing, but in terms of current status, Yue Su is even slightly higher than Fang Congzhe, after all, there is a backstage.

Yue Su, who had just entered the cabinet, could only rank last in the cabinet, after Fang Congzhe. However, there are not many people in the current cabinet, and three have just been arrested, which is estimated to be completely abolished.

The emperor has just asked the three law divisions to try together, and the protagonist must be Lord Yue. Zhou Yingqiu, the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Li Chaohai, the secretary of Dali Temple, came over one after another, asking when Yue Su planned to start the trial, and they were making preparations.

The case has just been sent, and the trial will start now, which is a bit inappropriate, at least I have to go to the homes of these officials in person. So, Yue Su replied to them, and waited for Wei Guangwei and others to be put in the prison of the Criminal Department, and then went to their mansion for inspection. Zhou Yingqiu and Li Chaohai didn't have the courage to 'no', and they both smiled and nodded in agreement.

These two benevolent brothers, Zhou Yingqiu, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, is Wei Zhongxian's person, relying on the cook at home to make a pig's hoof and paw, and stammering with Wei Zhongxian's nephew Wei Liangqing, climbed to this position, and at that time there was a nickname, called "Burning Hoof General Constitution", General Constitution is the common name of the Imperial History. Li Chaohai, the secretary of Dali Temple, is a native of Zhejiang, and of course a member of the Zhejiang Party.

Zou Yi also sent Liu Yun to follow Yue Su and was responsible for escorting Wei Guangwei and others. Surrounded by the forbidden army, the big guy left the Forbidden City, said goodbye to Fang Congzhe, and Yue Su and others went to the Criminal Department. In the prison of the Criminal Department, Jiāo picked up a prisoner, how dare the prison be lazy, take the person down with his heart, and beat the drum vigorously in his heart, what is going on, even Cifu and Pan Shilang have been sent in, Lord Yue is too powerful, I have to be more cautious in the future.

Jiāo cut off the prisoner, and Liu Yun accompanied Yue Su, Zhou Yingqiu, and Li Chaohai to the house of Wei Guangwei and others to verify. After calculating the gold and silver treasures from house to mansion, everyone went back to their homes to make preparations and ascended to the church tomorrow.

"Why are there so many soldiers here?"

Outside Ruan's mansion, a carriage slowly came over, and around the carriage, followed by more than a dozen servants, the leader turned out to be Li Haoquan. The carriage that can be escorted by him, of course, must be from the Yue family.

Yes, it was Ruan Aoyue and the maid Mei'er sitting in the carriage.

My father has been back for a few days, and Ruan Aoyue has not visited, so today I am thinking about coming over to take a look, and by the way, I will try to ease the relationship between my father and her husband. So, Ao Yue took Mei'er and asked Li Haoquan to order a few people to escort her to Ruan Zhenmei's mansion.

When the carriage entered the alley where the Ruan Mansion was located, Mei Er poked her head out, and when she arrived at the large number of forbidden troops in front of the mansion, she was surprised.

"Where is there a soldier post?" Ruan Aoyue in the car asked curiously.

"Right in front of the old man's house." Mei'er turned her head and said.

"How is that possible?" Ruan Aoyue pulled the curtain and looked out, but no, there were a large number of soldiers in Nguyen's house.

Ruan Aoyue was suspicious, the first assistant family mén mouth, there is no soldier post, why is there still so many officers and soldiers in the father's house. I looked carefully at the sides, and I didn't go to the wrong place. Seeing that the carriage was about to arrive in front of Mén, she spoke: "Li Zhutou, why are there so many soldier posts in front of this mansion, you can ask me what is going on." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Li Haoquan, who was walking in the front, agreed, and ran quickly towards the entrance of Ruanfu.

He didn't have the clothes of an errand officer, and the janitorial army guarding there certainly didn't know what he did. When the forbidden soldiers saw Li Haoquan running towards them, they shouted loudly: "What are the people who are coming? ”

Li Haoquan stopped and asked, "Isn't this the mansion of Lord Shi Ruan, the deputy capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Why are you working here, I don't know what's going on? ”

"You can inquire about what you should inquire, but don't ask more about what you shouldn't. Get out of here! A janitorial soldier said breathlessly.

The clothing of the forbidden army is different from that of ordinary soldiers, Li Haoquan can also come out, although he was scolded, he did not get angry, endured the "xìng", took out the waist card of Shuntian, and said: "I am Li Haoquan, the head catcher of Shuntianfu, and it is my wife who sits in the back car. Lord Nguyen is the father of my wife, and my wife has come to visit me today to ask what is going on here. ”

After his words, a leader of the forbidden army walked over, glanced at the waist card in Li Haoquan's hand, and said with a fist: "It turned out to be the head of the Shuntian Mansion, disrespectful." It happened that Lord Nguyen was bribed, and the mansion thought that the emperor had ordered it to be sealed up, and ordered the three legal divisions to try it. Lord Shicaiyue has already been here, so I guess you don't know yet. ”

"Ah......" Hearing this, Li Haoquan was startled.

At the same time, there was someone who made the same surprised sound, and that was Ruan Aoyue in the car behind. When the leader of the forbidden army answered, he immediately came behind Li Haoquan, and Ruan Aoyue heard the words of the leader of the forbidden army clearly. Hearing this, she almost collapsed, how could such a thing happen.

Ruan Aoyue hurriedly asked, "This military master, what you just said is true?" ”

"Madame, don't call it that, I really don't dare to take it seriously." The leader of the forbidden army hurriedly bowed down and saluted, how could he, an official who was not as big as a sesame mung bean, be worthy of this title, and not Ruan Aoyue was the lady of the third grade, just at the 'King of Yue Yan', who would dare to be disrespectful. When the forbidden army raided, 50,000 taels of silver, 8,000 taels of gold, and more than a dozen boxes of jewelry were found in the house. Now the emperor has ordered the three law divisions to be strictly judged, and Lord Yue is the chief judge. ”

"How can this be...... Ruan Aoyue gasped, and then asked, "That...... So where is my father now? ”

"According to the law, he has been sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, and when Lord Shicai Yue investigates, they will still listen to it, and the trial will be held tomorrow." The leader of the forbidden army knows everything.

Ruan Aoyue nodded and said, "Thank you." Then, he shouted again: "Hurry up and turn around and go to the punishment department." ”

"Yes, ma'am!"

The coachman immediately turned his horse's head around and drove to the criminal department. Along the way, Ruan Aoyue's heart was up and down, and she really couldn't understand why her father had just come back from Jizhen, so why would he suddenly make such a fuss. However, she recalled the words that Jin Cicada didn't hear at the beginning, 'The thief eats ròu, and the thief is not beaten, don't think it's an errand, when he comes back, it will be enough for him to lose his skin'.

"Could it be that someone set my father up and told him to drill into it? What can I do? The husband has always told the law enforcement and asked him to try the case, wouldn't his father have no way to live. Oops......" Thinking of this, Ruan Aoyue had a feeling of sudden realization, "It must be Wei Zhongxian's trick, first set up a trick for his father, and then expose it, and let her husband come to trial." If the husband bends the law and spares his father, they will use this to ruin the name of the husband, and if the husband kills the father...... No...... I can't let my father die......"

"Yes...... But what can I do now, do I have to go back and persuade my husband? I can't do that, but what can I do? Ruan Aoyue looked anxious, but she couldn't think of a way.

Her anxious expression, the maid Mei'er sitting next to her was clear, and Mei'er said in a voice: "Sister is worried about the master's affairs......"

"Yes......" Ruan Aoyue nodded.

"Actually, sister don't worry, this case is tried by our uncle, guilty or not, the sentence is heavy, it's not a matter of my uncle's words." Mei'er said in a voice.

Ruan Aoyue shook her head and said: "Don't be Hu, the husband has always enforced the law like a mountain and acted impartially, this time it is still a joint trial by the three law divisions, if the husband dares to show favoritism, I am afraid that not only will the first generation of heroes not be protected, but also eat melons." ”

"How's that?" Hearing Ruan Aoyue's words, Mei'er also panicked, and said: "You can't watch the master have an accident, you can't let your uncle use a tiger head to kill the master." I don't want to use a knife against the old man. ”

Mei Er naturally knows about the three copper guillotines, and Tie Qiu often brags in front of her that she has used a guillotine to kill many corrupt officials and local tyrants and bullies.

"Yes...... I can't let my father die...... But I can't let the husband sī...... What the hell is going to ...... this?"

Ruan Aoyue thought about it, but couldn't think of a way, Mei'er was also in a hurry, and she didn't know how much she had done in the car, and suddenly felt that the carriage stopped.

"Madam, the Criminal Department has arrived." Li Haoquan's voice sounded outside the carriage.

"Ah......" Ruan Aoyue reacted at this time, pulled the curtain, and saw the front of the criminal department. She was about to get up and get out of the car, but she hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Let's go to the prison of the Criminal Department first, I want to visit my father." "Finish, put the curtain down.

"Yes, ma'am." The carriage turned around and galloped towards the prison of the Criminal Department.

The prison of the Criminal Department and the Criminal Department are in the same courtyard, and they are just a few steps away. When he came to the prison, without waiting for Ruan Aoyue's instructions, Li Haoquan stepped forward.

"What for?" When the jailer guarding Mén saw a carriage arriving, it was estimated that a large family had come to visit the prisoner. They have always had to put on a domineering posture when they come to visit the prison, so that they can deal with more important things.

Sure enough, when the jailer reached out to Li Haoquan and pulled it out to his waist, he thought that the other party was going to take out the silver, and his heart was happy. Unexpectedly, Li Haoquan took out a waist card.

"I am Li Haoquan, the head catcher of Shuntian Mansion, and the lady sitting in the car is my wife, who is the third rank of the court. I'm here today to visit the prison! The momentum shown by Li Haoran was several times stronger than that jailer.

Now Shuntianfu and the Criminal Department are both grasped by Yue Su, and they are also considered a family, but this also has a relationship between the more important and the more important. Shuntianfu is Yue Su's team, and the people who come out here are naturally more weighty than the people in the criminal department. This has to be changed to the past, the head catcher of Shuntian Mansion is a thing in the prison of the Criminal Department, but now, when the people of the Criminal Department hear about Shuntian Mansion, they must pay a few respects. Compared with Tong Guan, a few people are in the Criminal Department as the head catcher, and Tie Qi Lao follows Yue Su back and forth, these few people are in the Criminal Department, and all officials below Sha Lang meet each other, they have to greet them politely.

Especially in the current Beijing City, the weight of the Shuntianfu waist card is not even under the Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

But this time, when the jailer got to his waist, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you Lord Yue's wife coming to visit the prison?" The jailer's tone was much softer than before.

"Yes, my wife is here to visit the prison." Li Haoquan said loudly.

"But I don't know who came to visit, and they went in and spread the word." The jailer asked politely.

"It's to visit my wife's father, Lord Yu Shi Ruan, the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Li Haoquan replied truthfully.

"Ah......h After opening his mouth and stammering for a long time, he said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go in and report." ”

The jailer ran into the prison with a puff of smoke. The reason why this son is so surprised is not because of the sentence 'Come to visit my wife's father'. Mrs. Yue's father, isn't that Lord Yue's father-in-law, how did this happen, why did Lord Mintang even bring in his old Taishan. Although there were many prisoners who had just been brought in, and even the second assistant, I really couldn't imagine that Lord Yue would kill his relatives so righteously.

The jailer ran to the prison and told the truth about Ruan Aoyue's visit to the prison. It was his own top boss, how dare the prison let people wait outside, and hurriedly ran out to greet him.

Ran outside the mén, at this moment Ruan Aoyue had already gotten out of the car, and the prison bowed and saluted, "I don't know that Mrs. has arrived, I have missed the welcome, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

"Those who don't know are not guilty, the purpose of Madame's here, I want you to come and hear it, and please lead the way." Ruan Aoyue said.

"Yes, ma'am. Inside please. The prison made a gesture of please, and waited until Ruan Aoyue walked past him before he accompanied him into the prison.

The prison commander personally pointed out the path, followed the passage, and soon came to the prison where Ruan Zhenmei was held.

The officials who were imprisoned were all in single rooms, and the cells were far away, and the mén was not an ordinary fence mén, but an iron mén, and this kind of cell was dedicated to the detention of felons. Strictly prevent confession evasion.

Through the window on the iron mén, Aoyue could see that his father was sitting on the haystack, and his father was no longer wearing an official uniform, but a prison uniform, and he looked much older than some time ago. Exactly, such a big case was committed, and the emperor personally ordered to supervise it, the evidence is conclusive, and who can not be haggard.

The prison opened, and Ruan Aoyue said, "You are all waiting outside, and I will go in by myself." ”

Over, Li Haoquan opened the prison, and Ruan Aoyue walked in on her own. At the moment when the prison was opened, Ruan Zhenmei had already heard the voice, and when she walked in, it was as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Son, ......" Ruan Zhenmei screamed movingly, tears streaming down her eyes.

"Father......" Ruan Aoyue rushed to Ruan Zhenmei's side in a few steps, knelt on the ground, and also shed tears, and said, "Father, what's wrong with you?" Why did you just come back and suffer this unexpected ......?"

"Alas......" Ruan Zhenmei shook her head and said bitterly: "It's all because my father was greedy for a while, so he got such an end." If my reputation is ruined, I'm afraid that my head will fall to the ground......"

"Father...... What the hell happened...... You tell your child...... I'm going to find a way to save you......" Ruan Aoyue asked eagerly.

"It's hard to put it into words...... Ruan Zhenmei sighed: "This matter has to start from the time when my father arrived in Zhengzhou......"

At this point, the person has already entered the prison, Ruan Zhenmei no longer conceals it, and after she arrived in Kaifeng, she was invited to a banquet by Wang Linhe and others. What joint impeachment of Yue Su, what invited a "brothel" to summon a "prostitute", what learned to give gifts, and later went to Jizhen to accept bribes, all of the things that happened in the Golden Palace today were not concealed.

After listening to her father's story, Ruan Aoyue finally understood why her father was so cold to Yue Su, and how her father walked into the trap set by others step by step. Now that the emperor knows about it, and it is basically a combination of stolen goods, and the iron case is like a mountain, what else can be done.

Ruan Aoyue looked a little weak, but then a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she found the key to it. Aoyue is a careful person, although his father is like this, he is very sad, but as long as he calms down a little, he can detect some subtle things.

It stands to reason that this matter is clearly someone else's cheating on the father, writing an anonymous letter to her husband to complain, and then other officials will come forward to find out the matter and make the matter bigger. But why is there such a big fuss, even the people who provoke the trouble have been thoroughly investigated because of the anonymous letter, and the stolen goods have been seized together, and they are detained here together. If he is framed, he will not even harm his own people.

"The husband took out so many anonymous letters...... I understand......" Ruan Aoyue thought about it carefully, and guessed the general idea of the matter, "Someone must have sent an anonymous letter to report his father, and the husband found out about their scheme, so he planned to pull those bad people into the water together." But...... Why didn't he think about his father, why didn't he talk to me beforehand? ”

She was figuring out what had happened, and Ruan Zhenmei was also thinking about how to get out alive, thinking about it, it seemed that the only way was to rely on her son-in-law. The son-in-law is now obviously favored by the emperor, and he has just entered the cabinet, and the case is the chief judge. The bribes he received were not very many, much less than those of other co-defendants, as long as his son-in-law said a word, he could save his life.

Thinking of this, Ruan Zhenmei immediately said, "Son, I have thought of a way to get out alive......"

"What kind of method is it......" As soon as she heard that her father had an idea, Ruan Aoyue also became excited and blurted out.

"Bingyan...... He can save me, as long as he says a word, he can save me. Son, go back and beg him, you must get me out, my father doesn't want to die...... In the past, I didn't do anything, you admit his mistake and apologize for him on my behalf, and then thank him in person when I go out......" Ruan Zhenmei said eagerly. When he said this, the old fellow cried again.

Although literati have arrogance, they also have to divide who they are, and not everyone is like Yang Lian. As a person who can take bribes, he has already betrayed his arrogance, and what is left is just a false name. When death is at stake, how can there be backbone. You must know that those corrupt and ** officials in the world have long lost their dignity, they are just gorgeously dressed dogs.
