Chapter 409: Take it in stride

In the face of the sudden change, Zheng Youhai knelt there tremblingly, no matter what, he thought that he was blocking the road to sue the meeting in such a situation, not only did he not see Li Yuntian but also aroused the dissatisfaction of the people at the scene.

"This government will show you a clear way, and now if you want to save your brother-in-law, the only way to save your brother-in-law is to go to Zhejiang to patrol the imperial history, and only when he speaks can he keep people." Zhou Hao saw Zheng Youhai's body trembling, so his tone changed, and he gave him an idea in a deep voice.

Since the official document approving the execution of the death penalty has already been issued by the Criminal Department, there are only four people on the ground in Zhejiang who can do it, namely, the political envoys of Zhejiang, the envoys of Zhejiang, and the imperial historians of Zhejiang.

The relationship between the Ningbo City Department and the Zhejiang Political Envoy Department and the Yamen of the Zhejiang Embassy Department is very clear, and since this case involves the Municipal Shipping Division, the left and right political envoys of the Zhejiang Political Envoy Department and the Imperial Envoy of the Zhejiang Municipal Envoy Department will definitely not order a retrial, and Zheng Youhai's brother-in-law will not be saved.

Therefore, at this time, the only person who can save Zheng Youhai's brother-in-law is the Zhejiang Patrol Imperial History, and the term of office of the imperial court sent to various places to patrol the Imperial History is only one year, and the relationship with the local government is not very close, so maybe they will intervene in the case and postpone the date of execution.

Zheng Youhai suddenly showed a desperate look on his face when he heard this, he had been to Zhejiang to patrol the imperial history yamen, first was blocked by the officials at the door, and then was arrested by the officials of Ningbo Mansion and sent to prison for half a month.

When Zheng Youhai was released from prison, Zhejiang Patrol Imperial History had already gone to inspect the state capital of Zhejiang, he did not give up, and deliberately chased over to find the Imperial Inspector once, but he was taken down by the accompanying officers of the Imperial History Yamen without even seeing anyone, and he was beaten by thirty boards in vain.

It is worth mentioning that since the patrol of the imperial history is not sent by the imperial court every year, it may also be appointed every other year, or even every two years, so the patrol of the imperial history yamen is not permanent.

Whenever the inspector arrives at the imperial history, he will transfer people from the local yamen to patrol the imperial history yamen for his dispatch, and has a close relationship with the local yamen, and it is a piece of cake to prevent Zheng Youhai from suing.

"Look, General Dingnan is out!"

"I didn't expect the general to be so young and look like he's in his early twenties!"

"The decorations on the clothes on the Shogun's chest are so beautiful."

"Huh! The scabbard and hilt of the sword at his waist were golden, a color that only royalty could use! ”

"General Dingnan is so heroic, I don't know if he has a wife ......"

"I heard that General Dingnan was born in two rankings, but I didn't expect to become a general who commanded the army, which is unprecedented."

……

Just when Zheng Youhai was in despair, the people around him suddenly stirred and talked about it.

He subconsciously looked up, only to find that the curtain of the carriage had been lifted by a guard, and Li Yuntian bent down and walked out of the carriage.

"Your affairs are already known to the official, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the 30 boards should be heavily responsible for blocking the road, but this time the counterinsurgency is a matter of heavy responsibility, and the official does not want to use the punishment so as not to spoil the fortune of the expedition, so he exempted you from these 30 boards."

Li Yuntian came to Zheng Youhai under the gaze of everyone, and said to him quietly:

"There is one thing that the official wants to sue you, you should know the meaning of each performing its duties, and it should be clear that there are no rules, the governor of the official Jiaozhi, the military and political affairs of Guangxi, and the case of Zhejiang cannot be interrogated by the official, otherwise it is a transgression and disrupting the order of officialdom, if the officials in the world all cross the line to ask the case, then the situation of the Ming Dynasty will be worrying."

The corners of Zheng Youhai's mouth squirmed a few times, he wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end, his expression became extremely gloomy, Li Yuntian's words were reasonable, and he couldn't refute it for a while.

The people around also nodded their heads when they heard this, expressing their understanding of what Li Yuntian said, and some things actually became very simple when they were said.

"Since you have blocked the way of the official today, if the official does not give you an explanation, I am afraid that you will not be convinced, and the outside world will also think that the official government deliberately framed a good person."

Li Yuntian noticed the change in Zheng Youhai's expression, and when he saw his gloomy face, he knew that he was in a very depressed mood, and then he groaned for a while, and asked in a loud voice, "The Zhejiang Inspector Imperial History is assigned by the emperor from the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and this official can hand over your case to the Zhejiang Inspectorate Imperial History, and he will determine whether this case should be reviewed, no matter what the result is, can you be convinced?" ”

"Xiaomin...... The little people are convinced! Zheng Youhai was slightly stunned when he heard this, looking quite surprised, and nodded again and again after hesitating for a while.

Although Zheng Youhai was worried that the Zhejiang Patrol Imperial History would not accept his case, and he was also worried that the investigation of the case would be interfered with by the local government after accepting the case, this was the only way to save his brother-in-law at present, and he had no choice but to agree, maybe there was still a glimmer of life.

"Come on, bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." Li Yuntian saw that Zheng Youhai agreed to his conditions, so he shouted to the guards on the side, and then said to Zheng Youhai, "This official will repair a letter to the Zhejiang Inspector Imperial History, and tell him about your affairs. ”

"Your Excellency, don't worry, if you can see the state of the little people, no matter what the result is, the little people will accept it." Zheng Youhai nodded again and again, he knew that Li Yuntian could do this, which could be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.

The guards quickly borrowed pen, ink, paper and inkstone from a shop next to the street, and under the interested gaze of the surrounding people, Li Yuntian spread the rice paper on the carriage, leaned over and carried a pen to write a letter to the Zhejiang Governor Imperial History, writing down the story of Zheng Youhai's blocking the road, and the others did not say anything, but just stated a fact.

For Li Yuntian and the Zhejiang Patrol Imperial History, this is enough to explain the problem, some things can only be understood but not spoken, and if they say too much, they will add to the snake and give people a handle.

After writing, Li Yuntian did not use his Dingnan General Seal, but took out the seal of the imperial history on his body and stamped it at the place where it was registered, so that not only could the Zhejiang Inspector know that the letter was written by him, but also the writing of this letter also seemed justified.

After all, the imperial history has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, and although Li Yuntian cannot try Zheng Youhai's case, he can inform him of this matter, which seems reasonable.

"Although this official has written a letter to you, if you file a complaint, the thirty boards will be inevitable, you have to think clearly!" After stamping the big seal, Li Yuntian put the letter in an envelope and looked at Zheng Youhai with a stern expression.

"Xiaomin knows the rules of the complaint and is willing to be punished." Zheng Youhai nodded hurriedly when he heard this, and said in a resolute tone, now that Li Yuntian has written to him, how can he retreat, besides, he didn't eat less in order to sue him before, so he doesn't care about eating again, otherwise all his previous efforts will be wasted.

Li Yuntian immediately handed the envelope to Zheng Youhai, returned to the carriage, and the carriage slowly started to move forward and drove in front of Zheng Youhai.

Zheng Youhai knelt on the ground, holding the letter in both hands, and watched Li Yuntian's carriage leave with excitement, to be honest, he really didn't expect Li Yuntian to write this letter to him, so that the servants who patrolled the Imperial History Yamen would no longer be able to prevent him from seeing the Imperial Commander.

The people on the street did not expect Li Yuntian to deal with Zheng Youhai's blocking of the road in this way, which was both in accordance with the law of etiquette and humane, and they discussed the matter in private, and their good impression of Li Yuntian doubled.

The most famous restaurant in Yangzhou is called Tianxiang Pavilion, and Zhou Hao set up a banquet in the most luxurious private room of Tianxiang Pavilion, where everyone can enjoy the beautiful singing and dancing performance while drinking.

Although Li Yuntian is the uncle of Zhenwu and the general of Dingnan under the emperor's command, the highest status and the oldest in the field is Zhang Ben, the second assistant of the military cabinet, so Zhang Ben sat in the chief and Li Yuntian sat in the second seat.

The rest of the officials sat down in order according to their ranks, and all of the people who could appear here were the military and political officials of Yangzhou Mansion, and they were all big people who would tremble when they stomped their feet in Yangzhou City.

The Yangzhou officials who sat with him already knew Li Yuntian's intentions, and they were eager to inquire about the commercial franchise and mining rights in Jiaozhi from him.

Although they can't do business, since they are officials in Yangzhou, where businessmen gather, who doesn't have one or two relatives and friends who are doing business? And those merchants were undoubtedly very interested in the commercial franchise and mining rights of Cochin.

Li Yuntian naturally knew this, so he methodically told his plan to those Yangzhou officials on the scene, and those officials nodded their heads from time to time.

According to Li Yuntian's plan, all businesses in Jiaozhi would be monopolized and could only be operated with the permission of the government, and the imperial court would set up a new yamen in Jiaozhi to manage the commercial affairs of Jiaozhi.

The name of the new yamen is Jiaozhi Commerce Division, which is subordinate to the Jingshi Jiangwutang.

The reason why the Jiaozhi Commerce Division was under the jurisdiction of the Jingshi Jiangwutang was because Li Yuntian wanted to sell commercial franchises and mining rights to merchants, and he had to ensure the interests of those merchants in Jiaozhi, so that those merchants would be able to contribute money with peace of mind.

The affairs of Jiaozhi were promoted by Li Yuntian, and if the merchants wanted to buy the commercial franchise and mining rights with peace of mind, Li Yuntian had to promote the follow-up matters, and it was obvious that the merchants did not trust other officials.

After all, it was Li Yuntian who took the money, and other officials did not benefit from it, so naturally there was no reason to protect their interests.

Therefore, in this case, the Jiaozhi Commercial Division was placed under the name of Jingshi Jiangwutang.

Everyone knows that the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall is actually in charge of Li Yuntian, and the young Li Yuntian is not only a count but also deeply respected by Emperor Xuande, and he can work in the Lecture Martial Arts Hall for at least twenty or thirty years, which is enough to ensure the interests of those merchants, because after twenty or thirty years, they have already earned back with profits.!^!
