Chapter 160: The Second Ring
Seeing this waist card, Ye Yang, the prefect of Guangzhou, also buzzed in his brain, and it took a long time for the weather to come over, and he subconsciously called his family, but the person stood in front of him, but he didn't open his mouth again, until his family stood stiff and carefully whispered, and then came back to his senses again.
"Let's go down......"
Waved his family back, Ye Yang put the waist card back in the file, shook his head and said to himself: "I can't carry this black cauldron, Ma Xuanling, your people are really ignorant of what they do, this is not Guanwai, not Beijing, not Jiangnan, this is Guangzhou, is ...... Immortal land. ”
In the courtyard north of Xiguan, Guangzhou, Duan Hongshi was still sighing: "It's been more than 30 years, I never thought I could come to Guangzhou again, there is no other change, the most eye-catching thing is your Qingpu place." ”
The old man came to Guangzhou to control Li Yan's "Ye Yang Strategy" on the spot, looking for Fan Lian is one purpose, digging the root of faith in Fan Jin is one purpose, and another more realistic purpose is to bring down Ye Yang.
The news from Master Luo from Li Zhushou's side in Beijing shows that the court is very uninterested in Li Zhushou's "Qingtian" who often stirs up trouble with public opinion, in view of Tian Congdian's coming up like this, he is afraid that Kangxi will follow Tian Congshou's example and directly promote Li Zhushou to the ministry, so they all want to send Li Zhushou back to the south, and there are rumors before that they are thrown to Yunnan or Guangxi.
But during this period, the brothers in Beijing were very active, and they were sending their families to connect in series, thinking about pushing the court to agree on the prince again. This time, they learned a lesson, and instead of directly operating in Beijing, they went down to the localities, weaving the doors and related households, trying to create an atmosphere of unrest in the world if they did not establish a reserve. forced the court officials to get nervous, but they suffered a crime in the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, for fear of being pushed by the elder brothers to stand in line, and they were also contacting the local governor and asking them to remind the emperor.
Emperor Kangxi learned that the situation was a little out of control, and finally got annoyed, and issued an edict to prohibit Elder Brother's family from running around the world, and Elder Brother, whose vision was forced to turn back to Beijing, set his eyes on the officials who might be released. Li Zhushou, an idle official who was waiting in Beijing, came into their sight. Although the grade is too low, in line with the psychology that fly legs are also meat, he was also rotated by his brothers, and it was difficult to decide where to go.
In the eyes of the princes of the court, the prefect of Guangzhou is not an important position, but it is rich in oil and water, and since the prince was deposed, it has been controlled by the eighth elder brother. If Ye Yang is killed, and then Master Luo is instructed to instigate Li Zhushou to throw himself at the Eighth Elder Brother, the court should also push the boat down the river. After all, Li Zhushou is already at the level of the fourth grade of the Daofu, if you want to throw people to Yunnan and Guangxi, you have to put at least one from the third grade, if Li Zhushou turns back, it is a serious ministry official, but it is not what the court princes want to see, it is better to lose a fat prefect and continue to press him on the place.
So, Ye Yang, you have to get out.
"Guangzhou is prosperous, and it has the closest connection with foreigners, but it is the farthest from the capital. All the great immortals in the capital want to stretch out their hands here, so they all let the little immortals go. When the little fairy arrived here, he became a big immortal, and because there was no emperor squatting, everyone had some magical powers, and Guangzhou became a lively place for the eight immortals to cross the sea, which is the origin of its being called the land of immortals. ”
Duan Hongshi was analyzing the situation in Guangzhou with Li Shi.
"If you want to get rid of Ye Yang, you have to work on both sides, even if he doesn't reveal his secrets, he has to force other immortals to do something to him."
Li Xian nodded, which is why he asked An Jiuxiu to get the two-sided general's personal soldier waist card.
"But I didn't tell Liu Xingchun the whole thing, for fear that he would know that I was going to deal with Ye Yang and have scruples, that waist card, can I really be arrested and report it truthfully? What if they think it's too serious, and they find out that the waist card is hidden? ”
Although according to Duan Hongshi's instructions, he threw the waist tag and some forged evidence near the courtyard of the Fan family, but Li Xi was still not sure about the reliable surname of this plan, after all, he did not have a good grasp of the psychology of the people in the official government in this era.
"Catching such a small person, a person may be stupid and hidden, but a few people are different. I'm afraid that other people have any thoughts, and if you think about it too much, you will be sober. Thinking that it would be even more troublesome after hiding, what should I do if the general's own soldiers come to me? Will you be killed? So it's better to take things to business and throw the responsibility away. Then Panyu Zhixian, he can take advantage of the convenience of the official, follow Ye Yang's instructions, and rectify Fan Jin a little, but if he wants to take the future of his wealth as the head and carry the black pot, he will not be willing. Therefore, it should also be done officially, recorded, and the responsibility should be put on Ye Yangna, Guangzhou Prefecture. ”
When Duan Hongshi said this, Li Xian felt quite familiar, no, even this Manchu Qing official, his brain is better used, speaking of which, this is also due to Kangxi's deliberate creation of "benevolent government" for decades, and the local government still cares about the rules of this official, at least it has to be pretended.
"Then at this time, the waist card should have arrived at Ye Yang."
Li Shi's prediction was wrong, and the waist card had already arrived at Guan Yuanzhong, the general of Guangzhou.
"Unwilling to give the dossier!? What does he mean? ”
Guan Yuanzhong was very angry, the waist card was taken back, but the Fan family's murder file that recorded the location where the waist card was found and the person who reported it, but Ye Yang was unwilling to give it.
Ye Yang said that Panyu County also has files, and he wants Panyu County to sell the files, but this matter is too loud, so he didn't dare to move, so the files in the house can't be moved. He also said to reassure the adults that no one will check. ”
The harrier so returned.
"Fart! He's just keeping a hand, he doesn't want to stop me from trouble! ”
Guan Yuanzhong was a little irritable, what document was the most disgusting for a martial artist like him.
"No wonder you want Huang Sandao to go to Liaodong, it turns out that there is such a big mistake! How is this going on!? ”
Before, he praised Ma Harrier for being cautious, but Guan Yuanzhong scolded. Ma Harrier wanted to speak and stopped, Huang Sandao didn't say that he had lost his waist card, but ...... Maybe they didn't dare to say it. Thinking of this, Ma Harrier was also angry with the yellow three knives, and only let them set fire to intimidate, but they didn't want to make four lives.
"Forget it, no one should come to this matter anyway, pay more attention in the future!"
After thinking about it again, Guan Yuanzhong didn't care much about it, and waved away the horse harrier casually.
A few days later, Guan Yuanzhong found Ma Harrier again, this time his face was pale, which made Ma Harrier's heart tremble.
"You personally took people to the Panyu County Ya, as well as the Guangzhou Government Ya, and handed over the documents, and those who found the waist card in Panyu County were caught quickly, so that all the Panyu Zhixian County sent them out, and then casually dealt with them for a crime, and threw them all to Qiongzhou somewhere to catch fish! And ......"
Then Guan Yuanzhong said that there was a family, and Ma Harrier didn't have the heart to listen, so he hurriedly tried his best to persuade him.
"My lord, what are you doing all this for? The movement is so big, if you miss a person, go to the envoy, the governor or even the governor's yamen and beat a drum on it, and you will be in trouble. ”
Guan Yuanzhong's nostrils were breathing fire: "Someone found a waist card near Fan's house and handed it over directly to Ye Yangna!" Then the family of the scrivener of the Panyu County Torture Room who was killed also reported to the Yamen of the inspection envoy, and now Ye Yang doesn't want to stand in the way anymore, and he doesn't even give me that waist card anymore! He also sent me a paperwork, asking me to give an explanation, and I joined the mother! ”
Another piece!?
Ma Harrier's forehead was full of sweat, and then persuaded: "My lord, you still have to discuss it with the envoy, even if you want to do it, you can't let the adult show his traces." ”
Guan Yuanzhong also calmed down, if Ye Yang is willing to help, this bit of is nothing, just cover it up at will. But now that the matter has reached the point of the inspector, Ye Yang hurriedly shirked his responsibility, and put on a business-like posture, which made him extremely annoyed, what explanation could he give?
So far, the only way to cover it up is to pull the envoy to cover it up, and even have to find the governor to take action together, but someone has to carry the black pot.
"Ye Yang, bastard, hurry up and get out of here!"
Guan Yuanzhong was really angry, he was forced by this guy to express his support for Eighth Elder Brother before, but now he is unwilling to do something for him, how far is this guy going!
"Hurry up and check with me, if there is a third piece!"
Guan Yuanzhong's spit sprayed Ma Harrier in the face.
This matter was originally easy to investigate, and it was good to call Huang Sandao and a few people who were doing things at the time to ask, but unfortunately, everyone was sent away by him.
Ma Harrier had no choice, so he had to go out in person, and took people to secretly grope near Fan's house, but he didn't find the waist card, but found several lists posted on the wall of the tree. Just as he was about to throw it away, one of the sentences caught the attention of the horse harrier, "If there is a clue to the news, I am willing to reward you with something." ”
It's strange, don't mention the money, but say what you want, the horse harrier is a spirit, it is a waist card! Then there was another shock, this list was not sent in the streets and alleys, but it was posted in a deserted place, and it was specially reserved for him!?
"Could it be that poor sour talent......"
Ma Harrier frowned, Huang Sandao had told him about the whole thing before, and now it seems that the poor sour show wants to negotiate with them?
"Will they go around?"
Li Xi was still not at ease.
"Didn't your woman leave after hearing about a few relatives in the General's Mansion from Guan Xiaoyu? Is the waist card really lost, lost a few pieces, the general's mansion should be bottomless, and it must be going around in a circle. ”
Duan Hongshi was confident.
Li Xi nodded: "Then, I should go to find Master An again." ”
"Fat Man An has been here, and he is here for that Li Beijiang. The boy surnamed Li was very well-behaved, and said that the poor sour used to teach at his house, and he had a love affair, so he took in the poor sour. Now that I've heard some rumors, I'm scared, and I've come to ask me if I care......"
When Ma Harrier returned, Guan Yuanzhong sighed, as if he felt that all the toss was a false alarm.
"With Li Beijiang as a guarantor, the poor sour show should not be able to jump, just give him an explanation, of course, the murderer is...... Ye Yang! ”
Guan Yuanzhong said this, and Ma Harrier understood.
"Even the two brands can't scare Ye Yang's words, and the Wu family has sent a notice to the Yamen, how can he protect himself, which annoys Guan Yuanzhong. At this time, if you come forward to talk to Guan Yuanzhong again, Ye Yang's scapegoat will be confirmed. ”
Duan Hongshi explained to Li Shi that this whole set of actions, all links, Li Shi felt that the gap was too big, and there might be too many surnames, but in Duan Hongshi's opinion, they were all in line with the officialdom mentality, and they should be nine out of ten.
As he expected, An Jinzhi came to the door in person.
"The general's mansion Ma Xuanlu told me that it should have been done by someone else pretending to be the general's own soldiers, and Lord Guan has already checked it, and the suspicion is ...... That's why. ”
Then An Jinzhi talked about the relationship between Ye Yang and the eighth elder brother, as well as the matter of the eighth elder brother recruiting Xiaoyu for the tenth elder brother to make a side fortune, and finally made a summary.
Although it was not directly explained, the meaning of the words is very clear, this matter was done by Ye Yang's subordinates, and he is also a banner man. Ma urged the leader to say that the place was also asked, just outside the Chenghuang Temple in the northeast of Sanli. I also want to tell you that the General's Mansion is willing to pay a sum of money for medicine and soup, saying that this matter is related to the housekeeper after all, and Lord Guan is also very sorry in his heart. It's just something that Ye Yang left over there......"
Hearing the location, Li Xian's heart darkened, this matter had been expected for a long time, but with the quasi-letter, it still made people uncomfortable.
"Oh, then trouble Master An to tell them, Fan Xiucai said, that thing has been picked up, and ...... He also figured it out, how noble the general was, how could he do this? It makes sense if it's Ye Yang's words. ”
Li Shi's words made An Jinzhi stunned, and he hadn't told Fan Xiucai yet, why did he have an attitude of doing everything for him? Could it be ...... A chill traveled down his spine, and An Jinzhi's small eyes that were squeezed into two slits by his fat face widened, and his brain was so good that he understood the origin of the matter almost instantly.
"Is it really the people from the General's Mansion who did it? Li Shi, you ...... Why bother, to be the master of a poor and sour show? ”
not only understood the background of the matter, but also understood Li Shi's role in it, An Jinzhi could only smoke cold air in addition to snorting cold air.
"I'm a person who cares about the old feelings, even if I can't get justice, I have to make up for Fan Xiucai."
Li Xian said this with a smile, An Jinzhi first laughed, and then laughed.
"Good! I'm relieved. ”
Not long after An Jinzhi left, Fan Jin arrived in Guangzhou, just outside the Chenghuang Temple in the northeast of the Fan family's courtyard, Li Xi took Si Wei to investigate and excavate, and finally made a discovery.
"God......
The guards dropped their shovels, covered their mouths and noses, and dodged one after another, and some turned around and vomited. Li Xi is accustomed to seeing all kinds of murder scenes, and when he sees the situation in the field, his heart trembles. Then he looked at Fan Jin, for fear that he wouldn't be able to stand the stimulation.
"Ah Lian ......"
Fan Jin really showed signs of collapse, his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground softly, but then he stabilized.
"I'll take you home......"
He was not excited, not even tears, so he quietly dug away the dirt and carried out the decomposed and mutilated body.
"Do you want to knock on Yan?"
Seeing that he was sane, Li Xi asked.
"I've figured it out, master of their master...... It's the emperor, what's the use of me going to knock? ”
Fan Jin replied calmly as he put his sister in the coffin.
With a bang, the coffin board closed, and Fan Jin looked up at the sky.
"What I want to ask is, why are they not afraid of God's retribution and can even do such a thing?"
Taking a deep breath, Fan Jin shook his head.
"The saint in the book can't answer, and neither can the court and the emperor......"
He looked at Li Shi, and in one eye, under the thick layer of ice, there was a flame swirling enough to melt iron fossils.
"Fourth brother, can you answer?"
Li Xian thought about it and nodded.
"I can."
In June of the 52nd year of Kangxi, Ye Yang, the prefect of Guangzhou, was dismissed for embezzlement, and Shang Jun, the head of the fast shift in Panyu County, and several arresters were sent to Qiongzhou for extorting people. Guangzhou general Guan Yuanzhong received a letter of thanks from Fan Jin, a student of Panyu County, saying that he was grateful to Guan Yuanzhong for a thousand taels of silver to diagnose and treat his disability.
"That's the end of it......"
Guan Yuanzhong looked at his daughter who was staring at the sky in a daze, and let out a long breath.
"The show has just begun."
Yingde Li Zhuang, looking at the one-eyed Xiucai who was listening attentively to Duan Hongshi's narration, Li Xian smiled slightly.
