Chapter 94: Shock
"Lord Salt Patrol. The update is the fastest and most stable, and you have to be fast. Entering the Yashe, Li Yuntian glanced at the people present and arched his hand at Fan Ruhai.
Fan Ruhai and he are both civil officials of the seventh grade, and they are not subordinate to each other, so he doesn't need too much etiquette, just call him "adult".
As for the salt merchants here, don't look at all of them with rich money, but after all, they are a white ding, and Li Yuntian may be able to say hello in normal times, but now that the salt merchants' people have provoked him, how can he pay attention to them.
"Li Zhixian, I don't know why I came this time?" Vaguely, Fan Ruhai felt that Li Yuntian was not good, and asked quietly.
Seeing Li Yuntian so young, Yang Muen and the others were quite surprised, it is indeed very rare to see such a young magistrate in the officialdom.
"Lord Salt Patrol, this official came to disturb the adult's Yaxing this time, is it really a last resort?"
Li Yuntian once again arched his hand at Fan Ruhai, and said in a deep voice, "This official returned to his hometown and province, he passed through Yangzhou two days ago, and he wanted to leave tomorrow, who thought that the official's family was arrested by the people of the Yandao Yamen this morning, saying that he had an affair with the salt owl. ”
"The official stayed in the Yandao Yamen for an afternoon, and the Yandao Yamen did not give the official an explanation, the official wanted the adults to ask the adults what the official's family members had done, if they really had an affair with the salt lord, then the official would definitely not protect it!" Immediately, Li Yuntian's face turned cold and said coldly.
Although Li Yuntian did not say it explicitly, the implication was very clear, if the Yandao Yamen could not give him an explanation, then he would definitely not give up.
Hearing this, Fan Ruhai was slightly stunned, he never thought that Li Yuntian's family would be arrested by the people of the Yandao Yamen, thinking that Li Yuntian was far away as an official in Jiujiang Mansion, how could his family have anything to do with the salt owl? Ten Yankuai is Shiodao, someone wants to fix him.
The salt merchants present looked at each other, and after a long time, Li Yuntian came to Fan Ruhai to seek justice, and it was related to the salt affairs of the two Huai, so the biggest official was undoubtedly the salt inspector.
"Li Zhixian is a little restless, this official will let people ask what is going on." Fan Ruhai didn't dare to underestimate Li Yuntian, he had been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for three years, so he naturally knew that the main examiner of Xin Chouke was the elder Yang Shiqi, and Yang Shiqi was a celebrity in front of Emperor Yongle.
As Yang Shiqi's disciple, if Li Yuntian is humiliated like this, Yang Shiqi will definitely not sit idly by, otherwise how to face other doormen, wouldn't it be chilling?
Moreover, the Jinshi of the same department have always had a friendship of the same year, which can be described as a natural friend, and offending Li Yuntian is equivalent to offending a group of people.
Therefore, Fan Ruhai had to deal with this matter carefully, no matter how he said it, this was also a matter of salt affairs in Lianghuai, and he had an unshirkable responsibility as a salt inspector.
"Then the official is waiting here." Li Yuntian bowed slightly to Fan Ruhai when he heard this, and sat on the seat next to him. The update is the fastest and most stable
His appearance suddenly changed the taste of the banquet, and the atmosphere at the scene was a little embarrassing, Fan Ruhai wanted to invite Li Yuntian to the wine table, but after thinking about it, he gave up, now Li Yuntian definitely has no interest in drinking, or see what the people from the Yandao Yamen report on some situations, I hope things don't get too bad.
At this moment, Fan Ruhai couldn't help but secretly scold in his heart that those who were looking for trouble with Li Yuntian in the Yandao Yamen were stupid, and he didn't inquire about Li Yuntian's background in advance, how could he be the kind of ownerless duckweed, who could be bullied by others, but he had a relationship with the sky in the capital.
Moreover, it is not guaranteed that in the future, there will be Jinshi Nianyi, who is in the same department as Li Yuntian and has a good relationship, will be sent by the emperor to inspect the salt and Huai, and the people who offend Li Yuntian will definitely have no good fruit to eat.
The worst case is that after learning of this incident, the saint may have specially sent Li Yuntian to Lianghuai to inspect the salt imperial history and rectify the salt affairs of Lianghuai, because the officials who have a gap with the Yandao Yamen will be more conscientious when they do things.
At that time, those guys from the Yandao Yamen were ready to cry, could they really be just decorations for the Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty? Those things on the salt road can't stand up to a big scrutiny at all, and now it's just a tacit understanding.
Fan Ruhai groaned for a moment, waved his hand, and half of the dishes that had already been served were withdrawn, and then asked for a cup of tea and tasted it there slowly.
During the three years in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he understood a truth, that is, when encountering things, we must not rush to get angry, we must come gradually, urgent matters must be delayed, and delayed matters can be handled urgently.
The salt merchants didn't see the content on the post, so they didn't know the origin of the young magistrate in front of them, but seeing that Fan Ruhai's attitude towards Li Yuntian was relatively kind, they felt that Li Yuntian should have a lot of background.
Not long after, while everyone was absentmindedly drinking tea, the door opened, and Yang Muen's housekeeper walked in quickly and whispered a few words in Yang Muen's ear.
"My lord, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid Vice President Wei will leave first." Yang Muen's eyes flashed with a look of shock, and after glancing at the round-faced middle-aged man sitting on the other side of Fan Ruhai, he said to Fan Ruhai in a deep voice.
The round-faced middle-aged man was Wei Deguang, the vice president of the Salt Merchants Association, who looked up at Yang Muen in some surprise when he heard this, and he didn't know what Yang Muen meant.
The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a sneer, it seems that the guards of the Hou Ye Mansion made a move and caught Wei Zhennan, who was having fun in Yicui Pavilion.
"What's wrong?" Fan Ruhai put down the teacup in his hand with some surprise.
"That's the case, just now, the guards of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion broke into the Yicui Pavilion and took away Vice President Wei's second son on the grounds of disrespect to the county lord of Yingrui." Yang Muen replied quietly when he heard this, "The county lord of Yingrui should be the third lady of the Hou Mansion, the fiancée of the new science and technology jinshi and the magistrate of Hukou County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi. ”
Li Yuntian looked at Yang Muen in surprise when he heard this, how did he know that the county lord of Yingrui was Zhou Yuting, you must know that even people in the capital did not know much about this matter, not to mention that he actually knew that Zhou Yuting was his fiancée.
Wei Deguang was stunned, he didn't expect Wei Zhennan to cause such a big trouble, disrespectful to the county lord of Yingrui, then it is undoubtedly ** and light on the county lord of Yingrui, Wei Zhennan's character is clear to him, he is proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, especially a good woman, he must have seen the beauty of the county lord of Yingrui and moved his guts.
The salt merchants present looked at each other in amazement, the young lady of the Hou Mansion is light and moving? In addition, there is also a husband of a new science and technology scholar, wouldn't he offend both civil officials and nobles.
When he heard "the fiancée of the magistrate of Hukou County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi", Fan Ruhai suddenly looked at Li Yuntian in amazement, he didn't expect Li Yuntian to have such a powerful father-in-law, let alone that Zhou Yuting would be given ** by Wei Zhennan.
In this way, he has already guessed what is going on, could it be that Wei Zhennan ** Zhou Yuting failed, and in anger and anger, he colluded with the people of the Yandao Yamen to arrest Zhou Yuting in the name of colluding with the salt lords? made Li Yuntian come to the door to ask him for justice.
Thinking of this, Fan Ruhai couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, those salt merchants' children usually fly and dominate, but they don't know how to provoke Zhou Yuting, it's extremely stupid, and what's even more ridiculous is that they don't know Zhou Yuting's identity until now.
"My lord, I will retire first, and please forgive me." Wei Deguang reacted quickly, and hurriedly got up and said to Fan Ruhai that he had to deal with Wei Zhennan's matter urgently.
"Li Zhixian, is there any misunderstanding here?" Fan Ruhai ignored Wei Deguang, but asked Li Yuntian quietly.
"In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, openly ** a woman from a good family, with all the evidence, how can he deny it?" Li Yuntian sneered, and said in a deep voice, "According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, a woman from a good family will have fifty rods, seventy first-class rods for official crimes, and one hundred rods for those who are emperors, and two thousand miles for streaming!" ”
Originally, Zhou Yuting was just an official dependent, and Wei Zhennan was beaten with seventy boards at most, but because she was named the lord of Yingrui County and had the emperor, this made her nature worse all of a sudden, not only to be punished, but also to be exiled.
When Fan Ruhai heard this, he knew that Li Yuntian was not going to let Wei Zhennan go, and he shook his head secretly in his heart, feeling that Wei Zhennan simply deserved it, Zhou Yuting didn't pursue his ** matter, but he was good, and he actually found someone from the Yandao Yamen to slander Zhou Yuting.
"I wonder what this adult is called?" Hearing this, the salt merchants couldn't help but look at Li Yuntian in unison, Wei Deguang frowned, and asked tentatively.
"This official is the magistrate of Hukou County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi, dare to ask ...... this adult is" Li Yuntian had already guessed the identity of Wei Deguang, pretending not to know, and arched his hand to him and asked.
"The villain's surname is Wei, Wei Deguang, the vice president of the Salt Merchants Association." Wei Deguang secretly said bad in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down, and said with a smile on his face, "The villain has no way to teach his son, which caused the dog to collide with the county lord of Yingrui, please forgive Lord Li." ”
"Hmph, so you're the father of that slippery man." Li Yuntian's face sank when he heard this, he snorted coldly, and looked at Wei Deguang coldly, "There is an old saying, you can't teach it, your father's fault, how did you, the father, teach this kind of villain who is a ** people's daughter in the public?" ”
Li Yuntian's eyes were sharp, his expression was cold, and his momentum was domineering, and Wei Deguang, who had experienced strong winds and waves in the face of his questioning, didn't know what to do for a while, and he bent down and froze there, and couldn't help but ooze small beads of sweat on his forehead.
Fan Ruhai and Yang Muen both saw that although Li Yuntian was young, he was not a stunned young man without rules, his words and deeds revealed calmness, and Wei Deguang was speechless and sweated profusely when he asked a single sentence.
No wonder Zhongyong Marquis wants to choose him as his son-in-law, there is such a powerful old man behind his back, plus a mentor of the cabinet elders, and Li Yuntian himself is not an idle person, and his career will be unlimited in the future.
"Li Zhixian, where is the county lord of Yingrui now, the official has heard the name of the Marquis of Zhongyong for a long time in the capital, but he has never had the opportunity to meet, and now the county lord of Yingrui has come to Yangzhou, and the official has been going to see him since now." Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a little depressing and dull, Fan Ruhai took the lead in breaking the calm on the field and said to Li Yuntian with a smile.
"Lord Salt Patrol, the official also wants to see the county lord Yingrui, but she is now locked in a prison by the people of the Yandao Yamen, and the official can't see her if he wants to."
Li Yuntian sneered, and said meaningfully to Fan Ruhai, "This official feels strange, these two Huai salt roads are still not my Ming Dynasty's yamen, when did they actually start the affairs of the Zongren Mansion?" ”
Hearing this, Fan Ruhai suddenly sighed in his heart, he originally had the idea of luck, thinking that Zhou Yuting was the county lord, and he would not be arrested and put in prison by the gang of Yandao Yamen, but Li Yuntian's other female dependents.
Now it seems that he was wrong, he never thought that Zhou Yuting would be so forbearing, and was arrested in the Yandao Yamen without identifying himself, which undoubtedly made the Yandao Yamen fall into dire straits.
Yang Muen and the others were shocked when they heard this, and looked at each other, this is the county lord of Daming, and he was actually arrested in the prison of Yandao, which is no different from rebellion!
Even if Zhou Yuting really had an affair with the salt lord, then there was also a sect of the people's mansion, how could the Yandao Yamen be involved?
Wei Deguang's face was bloodless at this time, he realized that Wei Zhennan had made a big disaster, and his mind couldn't help but go blank, and every inch was in chaos. One
