Chapter 582: Trying to please
Yaolin Wonderland is located in the territory of Tonglu County, Hangzhou Prefecture, also known as Yaolin Cave, with broad depth, with twists and turns of the cave landform, magnificent and colorful stone landscape, known as "the crown of the caves of the Ming Dynasty".
Li Yuntian, accompanied by the magistrate of Tonglu County, came to Yaolin Wonderland with great interest, and after some weighing last night, he was ready to sit and wait for the changes in Chen Yaozu's case.
With Chen Yaozu's identity, Li Yuntian can be sure that someone will come to the door to intercede with him soon, Nanjing Hubu Shilang is an official of the Sixth Ministry, why does Li Yuntian have to give Chen Shilang this face, he can't kill Chen Yaozu because of Chen Yaozu's drunken words.
Therefore, Li Yuntian wisely left Hangzhou and came to Yaolin Fairyland, which is more than 100 miles away from Hangzhou, to relax, as long as he didn't nod, no one dared to let go of Chen Yaozu, who was locked in the Hangzhou Prison, and no one dared to treat Chen Yaozu's chest injury, so that Chen Yaozu could "enjoy" it in prison.
In this way, Li Yuntian can also appease Chen Guangzong, who lives in Yangzhou, and show that he does not want to take Chen Yaozu's affairs in his head, so as not to Chen Guangzong be disturbed by this matter, and then make any waves in the matter of transporting illicit salt.
To put it bluntly, Yaolin Wonderland is a natural karst cave formed hundreds of millions of years ago, the magnificent landscape and beautiful ecological environment of "secluded, deep, strange and beautiful" are famous, the stalactites in the cave are abundant, the stalagmites are numerous, the strange stones are beautiful, and the clear spring is murmuring.
According to the records of Tonglu County: the cave has a cliff, a land, a pond, and a hole. The wall is colorful, like clouds and clouds. The spring has eight sounds, the sound is like gold, drums, sheng, piano, human language, dog sound, can be shocking and strange, cover the place where the gods and immortals gather.
Just when Li Yuntian was visiting Yaolin Wonderland, the Hangzhou Mansion and the backyard living room.
A richly dressed middle-aged man sat on a chair with a frown and tasted the fragrant tea in his hand, the look on his face looked a little anxious, he was Liu Rende, the richest man in Hangzhou City, and this time he came for Chen Yaozu's affairs.
Liu Rende has a close relationship with Chen Shilang, and he was responsible for receiving Chen Yaozu when he came to Hangzhou this time, and asked his son Liu Zhongfu to accompany him, that is, the tall boy who spoke to Chen Yaozu that night.
Now that Chen Yaozu has an accident, Liu Rende is naturally anxious, if Chen Yaozu has any accidents, how can he explain to Chen Shilang?
On the night of the incident, Liu Rende already knew that Chen Yaozu was in trouble, but he was self-aware and knew that he and Li Yuntian had never known each other, so he did not rashly ask Li Yuntian to intercede, but went around asking for a relationship in the hope of handing over a message to Li Yuntian, as long as Chen Yaozu could be rescued, he was willing to give Li Yuntian 10,000 taels of gold to make amends.
However, there are too few people in Hangzhou City who can talk to Li Yuntian, and although this matter is not big, it is related to Lianxiang's innocence, so no one is willing to get involved in this matter, so as not to offend Li Yuntian.
Liu Rende asked people to find Zhao Lun and the officials of the Third Division of Zhejiang, and even the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce and the Hangzhou Division of Jiangwutang used his relationship, but unfortunately no one agreed to this matter, and without the help of Zhao Lun and others, Liu Rende could not even enter the door of the Hangzhou Division of Jiangwutang.
What especially made Liu Rende feel depressed was that Li Yuntian actually went to Yaolin Wonderland to play, he didn't have the courage to go to Yaolin Wonderland to find Li Yuntian, so as not to spoil Li Yuntian's interest, but he couldn't ignore Chen Yaozu, so he had to come to Hangzhou Governor Ma Yan, hoping that he could show mercy to his subordinates when trying Chen Yaozu's case.
As far as Liu Rende knows, Chen Yaozu's ribs have broken a few times, and he has been lying on the haystack on the ground moaning and wailing since he was imprisoned, and now his voice is getting weaker and weaker, and if he does not treat him, he is afraid that he will be worried about his life, so Liu Rende has to come to Ma Yan hard, hoping that Ma Yan can be accommodating, so that Chen Yaozu's injuries can be diagnosed and treated.
"Boss Liu, this official is busy with official business, so I've kept you waiting." Not long after, a man wearing a four-grade official robe walked into the living room with a smile and said to Liu Rende that he was Ma Yan, the prefect of Hangzhou.
After learning that Liu Rende came to find him, Ma Yan didn't want to see him in his heart, compared to Chen Shilang, he didn't want to offend Li Yuntian, no matter how powerful Chen Shilang was, he was also a member of the household department, and he couldn't control his head, but Li Yuntian was different, as the Zuo Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he had the power to supervise the civil and military officials.
Therefore, Ma Yan hung Liu Rende from the morning to the afternoon, and saw that Liu Rende had no intention of leaving, so he came to see him in desperation.
After all, both of them are in Hangzhou City, and it is not good to completely offend Liu Rende when they look up and look down on him on weekdays, of course he is not afraid of Liu Rende, but if he angers Chen Shilang, it is very unwise, anyway, he has been hanging Liu Rende for so long, which is enough to explain to Li Yuntian.
Since Chen Yaozu entered the prison of Hangzhou Mansion, Ma Yan knew Chen Yaozu's identity, and when the fierce and vicious jailer was about to beat Chen Yaozu, who was disrespectful to Li Yuntian, Chen Yaozu hurriedly reported Chen Shilang's name.
For those jailers, Chen Shilang was a high-ranking being, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to Ma Yan.
Ma Yan knew that Chen Yaozu was from a wealthy family, but he didn't expect his identity to be so prominent, so he fell into a dilemma, Li Yuntian is certainly not easy to provoke, but how can Chen Shilang be easy to deal with?
Therefore, after thinking about it left and right, Ma Yan decided not to beat Chen Yaozu's board first, and asked him to be locked in a separate cell, waiting for the Chen family to come forward to rescue, anyway, Li Yuntian didn't say when to hit Chen Yaozu's thirty boards, which undoubtedly made him take advantage of a loophole.
But what disappointed Ma Yan was that the people of the Chen family did not settle this matter, or Li Yuntian didn't want to just forget it, which pushed Ma Yan, who was in charge of trying Chen Yaozu, to the forefront, no matter how he dealt with this matter, it would cause Li Yuntian or Chen Shilang to be dissatisfied, so now it is a dilemma, and he is in a dilemma.
"I learned that the prefect is quite accomplished in calligraphy, and recently got a piece of calligraphy, and I hope that the lord will help me palm my eyes." Seeing Ma Yan enter the door, Liu Rende's face suddenly showed a smile, put down the teacup in his hand and got up to greet him, smiled and picked up a scroll on the table next to him and handed it to Ma Yan.
"The words from Boss Liu's hand are definitely treasures." Ma Yan smiled and spread the scroll on the table, and then his eyes lit up, and his eyes stopped on the handwriting of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing on it.
"Lord Prefect, it is said that this is the ink treasure of the Eastern Jin Dynasty's book saint Wang Xizhi, who is only shallow in his studies, I don't know if it is genuine?" Liu Rende had been secretly observing Ma Yan's reaction, and when he saw that he was attracted by the words, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked quietly.
"Its pen style is peaceful and natural, its gestures are euphemistic and subtle, and its pen shape is beautiful and healthy, congratulations to Boss Liu, this is the ink treasure left by the book saint, which can be described as a priceless treasure." Ma Yan came back to his senses when he heard this, and bowed slightly to Liu Rende with some excitement, and was full of praise for the words, and he seemed to like it very much.
"That's good, I was worried that it was a fake, but since it was genuine, then I could borrow flowers to offer the Buddha and give it to the prefect." Liu Rende smiled slightly, and said to Ma Yanyi.
"This gift is too expensive for the official to accept." Ma Yan's eyes flashed with a bright light when he heard this, and then he thought of something, shook his head at Liu Rende with some loss, and politely rejected Liu Rende's kindness.
That's right, Ma Yan really can't put down this Wang Xizhi's words, the calligraphy of the sage is enough to be passed on to future generations as his heirloom, but Ma Yan is a smart person, the so-called merit is not reluctant, and he will never offend Li Yuntian for this character, not only will he destroy his career at that time, but I am afraid that he will not even be able to keep this character.
"It's not a secret, this word is in the pawnshop under the ten taels of silver to collect, the seller signed a dead dang, no one knows the authenticity of this word, today since the prefect recognized its origin, then it shows that the adult has a fate with it, if it can stay with the adult, it is also a good destination for it."
Liu Rende had long expected that Ma Yan would postpone it, so he took out a pawn ticket from his arms with a smile and put it on the table in front of Ma Yan, and said quietly, "If the adult thinks that it is inappropriate to accept this painting for no reason, you can buy this pawn ticket for fifteen taels of silver, so that it will rightfully belong to the adult, otherwise it will be sold to those vulgar people who have the smell of copper, which will undoubtedly ruin this book that has survived for a long time." ”
"What Boss Liu said is very true, if those vulgar people are allowed to get it, it will also be a blasphemy to it." Ma Yan felt that Liu Rende's words were reasonable, and reached out to touch the painting and said to Liu Rende in a deep voice, "Since this is the case, the official will buy it, so that it will not be dusted!" ”
"As the saying goes, swords are given to heroes, and it is really a blessing for this character to meet a master like an adult." Liu Rende was overjoyed when he heard this, and he slapped Ma Yan on the back.
"Boss Liu, Chen Gongzi's matter is really powerless, the so-called bell must be tied to the bell person, the source of this matter is Zhenwuhou, so if you want to resolve this matter, you have to start with the people around Zhenwuhou."
Since he had accepted such a valuable gift from Liu Rende, Ma Yan naturally couldn't refuse people thousands of miles away, and after a long silence, he reminded him, "Gongzi Chen not only offended the Shen family, but also offended Miss Hongluan, if Miss Hongluan can forgive Gongzi Chen, then Gongzi Chen's situation will undoubtedly be much better!" ”
"Thank you for your teaching, I'm going to do this now." Liu Rende's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, he had previously focused his attention on Li Yuntian, and then ignored Hongluan.
Obviously, Lian Xiangyuan is the biggest victim of this matter in the capital, and it is not easy to get her understanding, but Hongluan is different, her home is in Hangzhou Mansion, which makes things much easier, as long as she can convince her family, then Hongluan will naturally help Chen Yaozu speak.
"Lord Prefect, I heard that Chen Gongzi was seriously injured and was already dying, and I don't know if he can survive until Zhenwuhou returns to Hangzhou City, if he has any accidents, there will be no way to explain to Lord Chen in Nanjing." Then, Liu Rende turned around, looked at Ma Yan with a bitter face, and secretly moved out Chen Shilang to put pressure on Ma Yan.
"The official also received a report of Chen Gongzi's injury, so he was not executed, the conditions in the prison are limited, in order to find out the case confessed by the Hou Ye, the official decided to let Chen Gongzi be treated." Ma Yan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and then said quietly.
What Liu Rende said is what Ma Yan is most worried about now, once Chen Yaozu has three long and two short in the prison, Chen Shilang will definitely not let him go, and now that Liu Rende has given him a big gift, he naturally wants to repay Li for solving this tricky matter, no matter what, save Chen Yaozu's life first, otherwise he will not be able to make this matter clear, after all, Li Yuntian did not say that he wanted Chen Yaozu's life.
"Thank you, my lord, I will invite all the famous doctors in the city here, and I hope that my lord will be able to have a convenient personality at that time, so that they can treat Chen Gongzi." Liu Rende's hanging heart finally fell, and he hurriedly said to Ma Yan.
"This is natural, and the official doesn't want Chen Gongzi to have any accidents before going to court." Ma Yan nodded quietly, he had been hanging Chen Yaozu in prison for almost two days, Chen Yaozu's humming voice was getting smaller and smaller, it could be described as dying, it was enough to give Li Yuntian an answer, he couldn't let Chen Yaozu die in prison, he believed that Li Yuntian didn't want to see this scene happen, otherwise Li Yuntian and Chen Shilang would become out-and-out enemies.
