After Li You sent Huang Yong, the deputy director of the right division of the salary department, Huang Yong and Huang Gonggong, to the lobby immediately, summoned all the shopkeepers in the Taisheng coal shop to the lobby - 1-

Seeing that everyone was a little uneasy, Li You smiled dumbly, "Today, there is that eunuch who plotted to seize the property and was beaten out by me, although this is not a big deal, but it will still take a few days to deal with it." I'm not afraid of him, but in order to avoid retaliation affecting you, I will temporarily close down from today, and half of the dividends will be paid at the end of the year. Avoid each other, find another place to live, go to relatives and friends, and ask for news before opening when the tide is calm. ”

After the people looked at each other, they dispersed. Li You left the shopkeeper and asked, "How much coal is still stored in the coal yard?" ”

The shopkeeper Gao replied after a silent calculation: "The one that arrived in front of me has 40,000 catties left in addition to the 240,000 catties sold, which are stored in the store." In the past two days, 120,000 catties were transported to the shop, and according to the instructions of the owner, a yard was rented in a nearby village. ”

Li You nodded and said: "Very good, it is estimated that the last batch of 80,000 catties will arrive tomorrow, arrange for people to pick it up, and store it in the village yard." There is nothing else to do, Mr. Gao, you can rest for a few days, and when you have time, you can go to the village to stock up on coal. ”

Seeing that Li You seemed to be arranging the future, the shopkeeper Gao was worried, "The owner is anxious for justice and righteousness, and all the people respect him, but now that he has evil the dog thief eunuch, is it really fine?" Good people in this world are not necessarily rewarded. ”

Li You felt that it was necessary to have peace of mind with the shopkeeper Gao, so that he could continue to do things with peace of mind, so as not to scatter people's hearts and make it difficult to lead the team. After all, the profitable business will continue to rely on these friends in the future.

Thinking of showing his "family background" at this point, Li Daguan said indifferently: "Okay, you don't know, I am the one who has protected the royal ancestral tomb." Therefore, there is a royal golden book iron coupon to protect himself, which is the Danshu iron coupon in the commentary, and the Son of Heaven personally engraved the oath on it. Not to mention beating, even killing a few eunuchs, how can there be anything? ”

The general public has limited knowledge. But relying on the power of commenting on the book, the Danshu iron coupon, which was rumored to be exaggerated, is still known. Knowing that the owner had this talisman magic weapon, the shopkeeper Gao was relieved and went to arrange the funeral with a relaxed demeanor. In a moment, all the friends of the coal shop learned that the owner had an artifact protector, and the people's hearts quickly stabilized.

Then Li You took Han Zong and other domestic slaves to leave the Taisheng coal shop and go home to the city. He didn't go three days. When I entered the door, I shocked the whole family.

In the backyard, Li You also gathered his wife and concubines and children in the main house. "I provoked the eunuchs. I'm worried that there may be some disputes in the past two days, but I'm afraid that my family will be restless. Early tomorrow morning, you will go out with your soft pedal car and go to the mansion of the chief princess of the Ten Kings' Mansion for temporary refuge. ”

This is the first time since Li You became an official that he asked his family to go out to hide, and all the women had a worried face, and they didn't know what was going on.

Li You laughed. reassured: "It's all in the hands of the husband, and there is no big thing." It's just that if you commit a villain, you're not afraid of 10,000, just in case. Besides, you have to make a show to others. ”

Liu Niangzi, who was silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Although the concubine doesn't understand the husband's affairs, she won't go anywhere. Just wait here. My mother taught me that husband and wife are one, and if the husband is in trouble, the concubine will not deliberately escape. ”

Mrs. Liu's statement surprised Li You, sighed a little moved, and patted her hands, "That's okay, I'll invite a few janitors, lest there really be a villain who doesn't have long eyes to come to the door to make trouble." ”

However, he said that since December 19, the court meeting has stopped, just waiting for the New Year's court. From the 23rd, the yamen of the imperial court will be sealed, and then until the fifteenth day of the first month, except for the New Year's court and the suburbs, they are all public holidays.

Seeing the last ten days of the end of the year, the court gradually stopped a little, after all, the quarrel affected the mood of the New Year, and the parties had a tacit understanding of the temporary truce, and began to enter the peak of public banquets. …,

Early in the morning of the 21st, Jiang Xinyue, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, walked into the public room sleepily, he had just attended a high-level banquet of the big and small Jiuqing last night, and he had not completely relieved his breath at this time. But it doesn't matter, in the last two days before the seal, nothing happened.

He instructed the handymen to move the brazier closer so that they could take a warm nap, replenish their sleep, and recharge their energy for the feast tonight.

The handyman set up the brazier and went out of the house respectfully. As soon as Jiang Zongxian closed his eyes, he heard the sound of eager footsteps outside, and he was very upset, and he shouted unhappily: "Who is outside!" ”

But he saw his long entourage poking his head out of the curtain and reported: "Master! There is a father-in-law to deliver the decree! ”

Jiang Zongxian was completely unworking at this time, and he thought in his heart that he would not stop for the New Year, and he didn't know what his intention was. It's not that Master Jiang doesn't have a sense of responsibility, but he doesn't need to look at it to know that this holy decree must be troublesome.

According to the general procedure, the edict of the ordinary affairs is sent to the six departments, and after being reviewed, the yamen is asked to go to the six departments to draw the decree on their own. The date of processing starts from the date of the drawing, so as to facilitate supervision. In official business, it is rare for such an edict to be handed down by a lieutenant official himself, and it is either a special matter or a very urgent matter.

Whether it's special or urgent, one thing in common is trouble. Although he knew this, Jiang Zongxian was still helpless, and those who were ministers often did not have a free body, so they had to get up and go to receive orders.

The lieutenant sent the edict to Jiang Zongxian, and left in a hurry without saying a few words of greeting. This is not a reward letter for private individuals, it is similar to the wholesale of a large number of official edicts in the imperial court every day, and it does not pay attention to so many etiquette for receiving orders.

Jiang Zongxian unfolded the edict and read it carefully, and he could see a few sentences at the glance: "Li Youmu has no father, is rebellious and rude, commits many lawlessness, bullies and dominates the market, indiscriminately uses favors to confuse the people's hearts first, and beats the errand officials second..."

When Jiang Dazhong shivered, his sleepiness disappeared, and the Son of Heaven ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate to arrest Li You for questioning? This is no small feat! 100% hot potato!

He looked at the charges again, and the front was basically nonsense, only the last sentence "beating the errand officer" was the focus. I can't help but be amazed, this Li You really dares to act, even the eunuch with good character dares to beat him, no wonder the Son of Heaven is angry and wants to take him to prison.

If it was placed in the past, I was afraid that the Son of Heaven would directly order the Jinyi Guard to send this Li You to prison, so how could I go to the trouble to find them, which is obviously not as reliable as the domestic slaves, to deal with it.

The holy decree of the Son of Heaven cannot be disobeyed on the surface, and the yamen of the outer court are not like the inner court, and they also have the privilege of performing and refutating. Of course, Jiang Dazhong has to handle it, but Li You has no official position now, which one is in charge?

After thinking about it, Jiang Zongxian felt that he didn't need to fight against Li You in this matter, otherwise if it was spread out, wouldn't his dignified Zuodu Yushi become an accomplice of the eunuchs? Besides, he had vaguely heard about Li You's coal selling, and he seemed to be very popular with the people, maybe it was because of this that he had a conflict with the eunuch.

Therefore, he sent the matter of arresting and interrogating Li You to Henan Province and Jiangxi Province to jointly handle it. Because the two masters of the Dao Yushi had the best relationship with Li You, Jiang Dazhongcheng used this to express his accommodating intentions, so as not to be slandered by assisting the eunuchs to frame Zhongliang.

Henan Provincial Governor Fan Zhong and Jiangxi Provincial Governor Imperial History Dong Ruoshui received the order from the Constitution, and Qi Qi was taken aback, this Li You was dismissed and did not stop, how could he have a conflict with the lieutenant again? Unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven took the initiative to issue an edict to arrest and interrogate without having a hearsay, this is the legendary edict!

Yes, the edict is not a noun that denotes a place, but it can also be a noun that denotes an event. Under normal circumstances, if officials impeach each other, or if an official commits a crime and hears about the Son of Heaven, and then the Son of Heaven rules and disposes of it according to the situation, this is not an edict in the minds of the ministers. …,

Only when the Son of Heaven does not go through the proceedings and takes the initiative to order arrest and interrogate by name, this is called an edict. Especially this kind of eunuch who offended the Son of Heaven because he was too upright, and was named and arrested by the Son of Heaven, is the most valuable edict!

Violating the edict of the powerful and going to prison (either dying or crippled) and committing a direct admonition to the court (to keep the official position) are the two major achievements pursued by aspiring civil officials! One of them is enough to spread the world's fame!

Fan Zhangdao and Dong Zhangdao looked at each other, and they both saw the envy flashing in each other's eyes, as science and technology officials, they were also eager to be sent to prison, especially the edict with relatively low risk and guaranteed personal safety.

Where is the limit of Li You's house? The first court staff of this dynasty was him, and the first edict seemed to be him, and he could now go to die blindly, and he really had no regrets in his life.

The two sighed and sighed, for his good, they had to fulfill him, so they couldn't release the water, they had to be arrested, and they had to be arrested as soon as possible! And it must be arrested vigorously as soon as possible! Immediately, the two masters ordered an errand in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, holding the edict of the Son of Heaven in their hands, and braved the cold wind to go to Li You's residence.

At this time, Li You was meditating in the study, and the layout of this time was very complicated, involving many characters. He was afraid that something would be overlooked, resulting in a loss of everything. Therefore, in my free time, I have to think about it again and again.

Suddenly, a house slave shouted outside the door in a panic: "The master of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has led the official messenger to the door!" Please go out and meet you, sir. ”

Oh? Hearing this, Li You knew a lot. That Huang Gonggong is very smart, it seems that he entered the palace yesterday, so the Metropolitan Procuratorate is so fast. In that case, let's go to the church for trial, it's not a big deal.

Originally, I thought that the Huang Gong Guild would lose its mind in anger, so it first sent people to the coal shop or his own home to take revenge, and made several preparations.

Li You stretched and got up to walk to the front yard. The wives and concubines all got the news and went out of the room to see each other off, and two of them silently wiped their tears. Li You waved his hand freely and said, "Wait for peace of mind, the New Year will be over soon, you will clean up your home!" I'm going to check it out at night! ”

In the front hall, Li You saw that the two palms came in person, and he also brought thirty officers and soldiers and errands, and the small vestibule was very crowded. He is inexplicable about this, this lineup is too exaggerated, and it is not a felon.

Li You raised his hand to the two palms and saluted, "I'm bothering the two brothers." If you want to interrogate me, send someone to call me, why be so grand, make my little brother tremble. ”

Fan Zhong, the head of Henan Province, did not greet him, but only returned the salute: "In accordance with the edict of the Son of Heaven, arrest you and go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, please!" ”

Catch!? Li You was taken aback, and he had to go to jail for such a trivial matter as a brawl? Isn't it just a matter of going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to ask questions? He wasn't mentally prepared to live in the prison! (To be continued......)
