Chapter 247: No Coincidence Makes a Book?
Following Qin Sile, Li You didn't take a few steps before he saw that the head of the courtyard in front of him was surrounded by a crowd, and some noise came faintly from inside.
Passing through the crowd, before entering the courtyard gate, I heard someone in the courtyard scolding: "You shameless bitch, it is your honor for my son-in-law to invite you to accompany the wine, dare to push back!" ”
Li You frowned, didn't stop, and led Zhang San and Qin Sile in.
There was a small sedan chair parked in the middle of the courtyard, and there was a middle-aged man in a satin jacket, suspected to be the leader, standing beside the sedan chair and scolding. On the other side of the house, there were three or four house slaves, dragging a woman hard from inside the door. In addition, there were two or three house slaves scattered around, smiling and watching.
However, the little lady clenched the door frame and struggled to comply, and the struggling hairpin was scattered and her skirt was messy, which was very pitiful. It's just that his face is facing the door, and he can't see it thoroughly.
The middle-aged leader jumped to his feet and scolded: "A bunch of fools! Do you want to pull and pull until the Year of the Monkey? Quickly lift one person and one hand and foot and throw it into the sedan car! ”
Li You looked at the scene in front of him, and a strange thought uncontrollably popped up in his heart... It's been almost two years, and the random task of "Stopping the Robbery of People's Girls" has finally been triggered? The fly in the ointment is that it doesn't seem to be a people's girl.
Just as Li You was thinking nonsense, Qin Sile shouted, "Stop!" He was about to rush to the door to stop him, but was stopped by the house slaves on the periphery.
The middle-aged leader turned his head and saw Qin Sile, laughed a few words, and continued to command the cause of robbing people.
Li You remained silent, and Zhang San saw that his master did not instruct, so he did not move.
Although the woman struggled more and more violently, and kicked off one of her shoes, how could she resist the strength of several evil slaves, and she was finally carried out of the room and thrown into the sedan chair.
Li You finally saw her face clearly, and what he actually saw was a beautiful female musician who took the initiative to sacrifice herself to accompany the wine on the Holy Birthday more than half a month ago.
Li You has been in the wind and moon field for a long time in the past two years, and he has seen a lot of beauties' names and customs, and he generally does not take them to heart. The reason why I can leave an impression on her is because she is elegant and restrained, and she looks like a good family, so she is different among a dry woman.
At that time, he only laughed a few words, and he was summoned by the Queen Mother to leave, and there was no follow-up after that. It turned out that she was Qin Sile's relative, and it seemed that Qin Sile had deliberately arranged for her to perform.
The middle-aged leader shouted "get up the sedan chair", and like a victorious general, he asked the class to return to the court.
Li You remained silent, as if he was watching without doing anything, and even moved a few steps to the side, making way out of the door, and making a gesture of walking slowly and not sending it away. Zhang San was very strange, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his old man's gourd.
Seeing that his niece was about to be snatched away, Qin Sile shouted in a hurry: "Cabinet Li Zhongshu is going to be presumptuous!" ”
The name of the cabinet is sometimes quite bluffing, but it can't frighten the real powerful people, and the Zhongshu Sheren is nothing, unless you move out of the university.
However, it has recently become Li You's fame, and the shadow of the famous tree of people must be different. Even if the ears and eyes are not very well-informed, it can be seen that a seven-rank has been impeached for half a month by a three-digit movement, and has been at odds with three elders, and it is still standing still, if there is no strong background, who believes it? Moreover, there are also jokes about talking and laughing with the Queen Mother on the Holy Birthday Festival, which must not be taken lightly.
Sure enough, when the middle-aged leader heard Li You's name, he stopped and looked at Li You a few times. But Master Li stood there calmly, without any moves, not quite like an obstruction.
But he was still a little jealous of Li You, and he tentatively commanded his subordinates to continue to lift the sedan chair outward, but saw that Master Li had no reaction to this.
So the middle-aged leader speculated that Li Zhongshu was unwilling to meddle in things? While flying and running away with his subordinates carrying a sedan chair, Li Zhongshu of the province changed his mind and got into trouble.
Qin Sile looked at his niece being forcibly dragged away, he wanted to cry without tears, he didn't understand what Li You thought, and he complained again and again: "Lord Li, you are... She has evidence of Peng Gelao's guilt there! ”
Li You said meaningfully: "It's really a coincidence." ”
"It's really a coincidence..."
Li You unceremoniously interrupted Qin Sile and interjected: "It's a coincidence, and the coincidence makes the official can't believe it." ”
Don't forget, Master Li is suspicious, although he hides well in front of big people and friends, but for small people, he never bothers to hide his liking for suspicion and presumption of guilt. He worked as a judge in Suzhou for a period of time, which contributed to his problem. For example, today's Qin Sile made him feel very suspicious... Qin Sile was stunned when he heard this, "Why did your lord say this?" ”
Li You sneered again and again: "This official needs to be charged with Peng Ge Lao at this time, and it just so happens that you take the initiative to show favor and say that there is, it is simply a meatloaf falling from the sky when your stomach is empty, which is very surprising, too coincidental, too coincidental!" But Benguan has never dared to believe in the good luck sent by him, and he has never believed that there is such a coincidence in the world. To tell the truth, this official has also sent some good luck to others, but unfortunately those good fortunes are all with arsenic. Dare to ask Your Excellency, why do you dare to offend the elder of the pavilion in order to help this official? ”
Saying that, Li You pointed out the door and continued: "It happened to be on her, it happened to be the official who had seen it, and it happened to be your niece, and it happened to be robbing someone today." If you want anything, you can write a legendary word. A series of non-stop coincidences, how much incense must have been burned? ”
Qin Sile smiled helplessly and bitterly: "Master Li has misunderstood! There is no malice in the following, please listen to the details below. ”
Li You snorted coldly and motioned for Qin Sile to continue.
It turned out that Qin Sile's niece's name was Cheng Saiyu, and she was born in a wealthy family, and her family was originally stable and wealthy. But her father, Father Cheng, who is also Qin Sile's brother-in-law, didn't know what confusion he had made, and when he saw others making a lot of money as salt merchants, he also had this thought.
However, you must know that under the national dynasty system, the salt merchants in the world are divided into ten outlines, which are basically fixed, monopolized from beginning to end, and others who are not on the official list are not allowed to engage in official salt sales. Father Cheng wanted to be a salt merchant, so he had to spend some silver to buy back a salt merchant quota from others, and at the same time received more than 1,000 salt quotes from others.
It's a pity that Daddy Cheng only saw the huge profits of the salt industry, but he didn't know that the water here was unimaginable, and there were really not many places in the world that were more innocent than this.
Not to mention anything else, the salt introduction is just a certificate, and the salt merchant also needs to go to the designated salt field to support the salt after getting the salt introduction, which is called the Shouzhi. If you can't pay for salt, what money do you make? If the relationship is not strong, the whole family will not be able to wait for you to pay salt, and there are even those who have guarded the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren who can't pay salt.
Father Cheng's hands are almost bankrupt and spent thousands of taels to collect more than 1,000 taels of salt, and the surface is cheap, and the current official price is seven taels, and it normally takes a total of 10,000 taels of silver. But it is designated to branch salt in the Changlu Salt Field, which is a fierce place.
The Changlu Salt Farm is on the coast of the Bohai Sea in Beizhili, and it is close to Jingshi, so you know. All kinds of magnates through various ways to ask for salt, like to go to the nearest long reed salt, so the number of long reed salt is much larger than the production. Daddy Cheng is a newcomer to the salt industry, and he has no strong background, so it would be hellish if he could get salt in a short period of time.
The salt administration is under the management of the Shandong Department of the Ministry of Households. It is said that Peng Ge Lao came out of the Hanlin Academy back then, and has been taking root in the household department, from Shandong Shilang to the waiter, Shangshu, and then to the cabinet. With such a huge influence, the fourth son of his family is a master of the wind and rain in the Changlu Salt Field, and he happened to cut the queue to grab Cheng's father's salt.
For some reason, Daddy Cheng, who didn't understand the rules, committed Peng Sigongzi. provoked the fourth prince of Peng to be furious, so that the Salt Transportation Division directly convicted Cheng Lao Dad of taking fake salt to lead and sell illegal salt, and distributed it to the frontier.
After the raid, the men were distributed, and the women naturally did not enter the teaching department, and Cheng Saiyu, a young lady from a good family, became a household overnight. It's a shame that there is an uncle who is a little Si Le in the Teaching Workshop Division, and he can barely take care of her.
Cheng Saiyu's revenge has never been extinguished, how can she fall into the dust, what ability does she have? However, she listened to the jokes of her fellow sisters, who can climb to the Jiangnan famous Li You, and can become famous in the country of flowers, as if climbing the dragon gate. The speaker is unintentional, and the hearer is intentional, so there is the act of forbearance and shyness and taking the initiative to accompany him.
With her idea, as long as she is famous, she can meet more dignitaries and find opportunities from them.
After Li You heard this, he faced it squarely in his heart and secretly kept thinking about it.
Now the situation is delicate, if what Qin Sile said is true, it will be just normal times, and it may not have much effect, but at this sensitive time, it is obviously a godsend, and any crime will be infinitely magnified, not to mention framing other people's families and destroying people. In the past few years, if the crime of Peng Sigongzi is confirmed, Peng Ge Lao will not be able to eat and walk around.
Hearing this, Qin Sile said flatteringly: "Recently, I heard that Lord Li and Peng Ge Lao are fighting, and I am willing to help you take revenge, and I am here for this reason." ”
Looking at the other party's courteous attitude, Li You smiled and said, "Thank you first, is there any evidence?" ”
Qin Sile laughed with him, "Yes, yes." Saiyu secretly hid the original salt lead, as long as it is verified to be true, his father's charges of fake salt lead naturally do not exist, and it can be proved that he was framed. ”
Suddenly, seeing Lord Li's face flip, he scolded sharply: "Say! Who instructed you? Dare to think that this official is like a three-year-old child! ”
Qin Sile shuddered violently, he thought that he had convinced Lord Li, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Lord Li spoke ruthlessly.
Li You nodded at Qin Sile and said, "Your surname is Qin, but a small Si Le, will you have such knowledge?" I don't believe how you can see the situation in front of you. Besides, if you are not a person who knows the inside story, I am afraid that no one will bet on the seventh product of this official! ”
He also threatened: "If there are any more untruths, if you are brave enough, try to see if this official can govern you." ”
Qin Sile was frightened by Li You's threat, and secretly complained, why is this Lord Li so shrewd when he is not old, no matter how he says, he can't gain the other party's complete trust..."Don't want to say it yet? Li You nodded and said, "Then say goodbye, there will be a period later." ”
After thinking about it, it is more important to take revenge ... Qin Sile gritted his teeth and stepped forward to stop, "Slow down, adult!" In fact, this is all taught by Wang Qinian, Wang Yushi! But the matter of the Cheng family is indeed true, and there will never be a lie here! ”
Wang Qinian? Li You was surprised to hear this name and was stunned for a while. Wang Yushi of Henan Province of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can be said to be the initiator of this court dispute, and he is also the vanguard general of Peng Gelao. Now the whole Peng Ge's old black material is given to himself, which one is it?
Zhang San saw that his master was deep in thought and didn't want to be bothered, so he said to Qin Sile: "Don't act, hurry up and call the little lady Saiyu back to show my master, didn't you say that there is still evidence in her hands?" ”
Qin Sile cried and said with a sad face: "This is really a coincidence! was indeed kidnapped, and he didn't deliberately arrange acting to seek sympathy! ”
