Chapter 19: Downwind
General Lin Xiaofeng is Chen Weihan's cousin, when Lin Xiaofeng was still a thousand generals, Chen Weihan used to make money for him to dredge the joints, plus Lin Xiaofeng is good at greeting, and finally mixed with the position of Guizhou general.
Lin Xiaofeng's nephew Lin Chuang is a general of the garrison yamen, and he also became through his connections. Tonight, Niu Qian gathered people and went to Chen's mansion to get people, Lin Chuang naturally got the news, he didn't know what Chen Weihan had done, but everyone was relatives, and they couldn't help but take care of it. Thinking that he was soft-spoken and couldn't speak in front of the prefect, he ran to Lin Xiaofeng to report the news.
Tonight, Lin Xiaofeng was drinking in the hall with the deputy general You Chuancheng and the general Cheng Chaoxiang, which of course refers to the Jiyuan. The three of them drank in a daze, hugging left and right around them, and they were very happy. Lin Chuang hurriedly came and told him about the arrest of Chen Weihan's family to the prefect's yamen, Lin Xiaofeng was furious when he heard this, and scolded Yue Su for not inquiring, so he arrested people indiscriminately, which was too faceless. At that moment, I had to go to the prefect's yamen to find Yue Su's theory.
You Chuancheng also knows Chen Weihan, everyone used to drink a lot, calling them brothers, no matter how you say it, they are all from the army, and it is inevitable that they will be like-minded. I drank a lot tonight, remembering that Yue Su embarrassed himself twice, and he didn't ask what the case was, so he jumped up to express his support for Lin Xiaofeng and went to the prefect's yamen to seek justice together. Even if the imperial court has always used literature to control martial arts, it has not bullied people so much, and it has picked up our martial artists at two ends in three days. This is especially passed down to be better not to drink, and after a few drinks, the vulgar surname is undoubtedly revealed.
So, the three of them came to the prefect's yamen with more than a dozen personal soldiers. The station outside the yamen was full of errand soldiers, and no one was allowed to approach, and You Chuancheng knew that he couldn't break in, so he reported the name first.
Yue Su, who asked about the case in the court, didn't know what You Chuancheng meant by running here, could he still dare to intercede for Chen Weihan. I was going to refuse the guest, but after thinking about it, I don't know what the relationship between these three guys and Chen Weihan is, it is better to see what it is, if it is Chen Weihan's accomplice, you are honest, you are welcome, and you will definitely take it together.
"Three generals, please come in!"
The order was passed down, and in a moment, You Chuancheng, Lin Xiaofeng, and Cheng Chaoxiang walked into the lobby, followed by more than a dozen personal soldiers, but they were very majestic. As soon as the three of them entered the door, Yue Su smelled a smell of wine, stood up politely, and said politely: "General You is here, this mansion is entangled in official business, and he can't welcome him from afar, so I ask for forgiveness." ”
"Lord Yue is polite, I just heard that you took Brother Chen's whole family, he is also a court general, I don't know what big things have been done, my lord wants to be so excited." You Chuancheng is still polite.
Lin Xiaofeng, who was behind him, saw that Chen Weihan was on the fire chain, and there was a possibility of pressing it down at any time, so he immediately pointed at the errand and shouted: "What do you mean by this, are you still planning to bend into a move!" ”
As soon as the Chen family saw Lin Xiaofeng coming, it was like seeing a savior, and they cried and shouted: "Cousin, save us quickly." "Cousin, the prefect accused my family of trumped-up charges, and there is no evidence, so he plans to bend into a trick!" ……
Lin Xiaofeng had drunk a lot, and when he heard the crying of the Chen family, he was angry, rushed over and snatched Chen Weihan from the hands of the officials. The guy was drunk and hazy, and almost stepped on the chain of fire. The servants all knew that this guy was quite big, and the person was snatched away, so he froze in place stupidly, and didn't dare to react, just looked at Yue Su innocently.
As soon as Lin Xiaofeng saw that Chen Weihan was beaten on the board, he was even more angry, and he was able to climb to the position of this general, half of the credit for this cousin, he immediately glared at Yue Su and shouted: "Lord Yue, what crime did my cousin commit, you actually punished him so much." If you don't have a credential, Lao Tzu and you are not finished! ”
Yue Su glanced at Lin Xiaofeng, whose face was flushed, the old guy was in his fifties, with a round belly, a fat head and big ears, and he did not have the temperament of a soldier at all, but he was no different from the appearance of the landlord and the old wealth. Yue Su smiled and said, "Dare to ask this general's surname, what is the relationship with Chen Weihan?" ”
"Ben's name is Lin Xiaofeng, and Chen Weihan is my cousin. With our lieutenant here today, if you don't have any credentials, see if you dare to move a finger of my cousin! "This old guy doesn't seem to be too confused, and he still knows how to pick up the big one.
Yue Su turned his head to look at You Chuancheng and Cheng Chaoxiang on the side, and asked again, "I don't know what the relationship between your two generals and Chen Weihan is?" ”
"It doesn't matter, I'm just here to see the adult trial!" Cheng Chaoxiang said loudly.
You Chuancheng nodded, indicating that he had a point of view with Cheng Chaoxiang. "Let's just come to see how you judge the case and whether it's fair!"
"The trial of the case by this government is a local matter, and whether it is fair or not is not the turn of the deputy of the military camp to evaluate it! Come on, invite these two generals out and take down Lin Xiaofeng for me! ”
"Yes!"
The messenger agreed, stepped forward and tied Lin Xiaofeng on the spot, and the angry Lin Xiaofeng scolded, "I am a general appointed by the imperial court, and I have not made any mistakes in the local area, what right do you have as a prefect to tie me up!" The surname Yue, the acquaintance let me go, or I will go to the governor's yamen to sue you!" ”
You Chuancheng and Cheng Chaoxiang are a little stupid now, they didn't expect Yue Su's temper to be so violent that they dared to tie up the general. Even if the status of the military general is slightly lower than that of the civilian official, he is not so bullying, seeing that there are messengers who come forward to drive away guests, he can't care about decency, and scolded: "Yue Su, you dare to be so arrogant as a prefect, it is simply lawless, you wait for me, Lao Tzu will go to find General Zhang Bing!" ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for the messenger to approach, flicked his sleeves, turned around and left. Cheng Chaoxiang hurriedly followed, he was really a little afraid that Yue Su would also tie him up. Even if General Zhang comes out in the future, he still can't afford to lose face.
"General You, please stay!"
Seeing that You Chuancheng was about to walk out of the lobby, Yue Su suddenly stopped him. You Chuancheng thought that Yue Su was scared, and was about to apologize to himself, so he turned around and said, "Lord Yue, what do you have to say!" ”
Yue Su smiled and said, "Since the general is here to see if my trial is fair, then what's the harm in staying and sitting for a while." I still have something here, and I want to ask General You to take a look. ”
Seeing Yue Su's 180-degree turn, You Chuancheng was confused again, this prefect has always been tough, and he had been taught in the military camp at the beginning, how could he be frightened by his own sentence to find Zhang Zongbing. You Chuancheng also drank a little too much, and after thinking about it for a while, he thought that Yue Su was afraid that the chief soldier would join him. took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Lord Yue would have said this a long time ago, General Lin also saw his relatives being tortured just now, and his words were a little reckless, don't worry about him anymore!" ”
He is also an old fritter in the officialdom, and he knows what it means to push the boat down the river, so he also gives you Yue Su face.
Yue Su nodded and smiled, picked up Zhao Jiu's confession, and greeted: "Tong Xuan, show this thing to General You!" ”
"Yes." Tong Xuan took the confession, walked up to You Chuancheng, and presented it to him. "General You, please take a look!"
You Chuancheng took the confession, looked at it halfway, his face turned green with fright, and his drunken intention disappeared immediately, and he raised his head and looked at Yue Su stupidly.
Yue Su wanted this effect, and said with a smile: "The county lord was tricked, and he was poisoned tonight, but fortunately, the treatment was timely, and the surname was fine." It's just that he is still in a coma and is still resting in the back office of the mansion, does General You plan to greet him? ”
With Yue Su's identity, in fact, even if he didn't tell You Chuancheng anything, he was directly kicked out, and when the truth of the case was revealed, even the chief soldier Zhang Yanfang didn't dare to do anything to Yue Su. However, he didn't want to make a big deal and make Tongren lose harmony.
You Chuancheng heard Yue Su's words and almost collapsed on the ground.
Chen Weihan is the main suspect in the murder of the county horse and the county lord, and he also came to hold grievances for him, and was charged with an accomplice, and the head was cut off lightly. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, and immediately drew a line with Lin Xiaofeng and Chen Weihan, and said: "Lord Yue, it was rumored that Cheng was too reckless just now, and he listened to the villain's words, and he offended a lot, and I hope that Lord Haihan will do it." Lin Xiaofeng and I only have a subordinate relationship, and we have no personal relationship, as for Chen Weihan, we have only met twice, and there is no relationship at all. I don't know anything about what they are doing, and even if I hear the slightest rumor, I will bring them to justice long ago. ”
After saying this, You Chuancheng was aggrieved, and he almost planned to kneel down for Yue Su. In front of Yue Su, he also claimed that he had changed.
Cheng Chaoxiang's reaction was no slower than You Chuancheng's, as soon as he heard that it was about the county lord, don't look at it and didn't see the confession, but when he saw You Chuancheng's appearance, he also knew that the situation was serious, don't get it on himself. "Lord Yue, the last general is just drinking with Lin Xiaofeng tonight, but we are purely in a robe, and we don't have any personal relationship, and that Chen Weihan doesn't know him, and I don't know what they do. Please also have a good understanding. "Cheng Chaoxiang's grade was originally higher than Yue Su, but at this moment, he also called himself the last general. It can be said that as long as you don't get into trouble, there is no problem for Guan Yuesu to call his ancestors.
Lin Xiaofeng, who was tied, also heard the clues, and he was able to climb from a small general to the position of a general, and this guy was also very sleek. He immediately knelt down on his own and cried, "Lord Yue, Xiaguan is completely drunk too much, and he was confused for a while, begging Lord Wang Han to have a large amount." Although Chen Weihan is my cousin, the two families have no contact for a long time, and he took the liberty to come to the door tonight for that little family affection. If you know what crime he has committed, and you don't dare to come to kill him, please ask your lord to see that what he did really has nothing to do with me. ”
"You are Chen Weihan's relative, does this case have anything to do with you, I won't know until the official trial is over, you will stand aside first." Yue Su made a gesture and asked the messenger to pull Lin Xiaofeng away, and then said: "Come on, give General You two seats, these two generals come to the hall to listen, and they also want to see if the trial of this mansion is fair, then let's take a look." ”
You Chuancheng and Cheng Chaoxiang hurriedly shook their heads, "Lord Yue, misunderstanding, misunderstanding...... You are selfless and selfless, and everyone knows it, how can you be unfair. What I just said was purely a joke, don't take it to heart. I suddenly remembered that there were still some affairs at home, so I would not bother the adults to judge the case. "Me too."
"Joking, I don't know if what the two of you just said has nothing to do with Chen Weihan, but can it be a joke." Yue Su said deliberately.
"This ...... Of course, this is not a joke, it is all true. You Chuancheng and Cheng Chaoxiang laughed.
"Two generals, it's not that this government doesn't allow you to leave, it's really a matter of great importance in this case, once the news leaks, I'm afraid that some fish will escape when they hear the news. The two of them sat here and waited for the case to be heard, and then it was not too late to return home. ”
Yue Su said this, You Chuancheng and Cheng Chaoxiang of course understood the meaning, and knew that it would definitely not work if they wanted to leave, so they had to stay and listen.
