Chapter 173: Running for Help (Part II)
As a human being in two lives, Qin Kan has long understood that he must be cautious when dealing with the old man, this kind of person lives longer than him, and plays more intrigues and tricks than him, and when he encounters one or two immoral guys who are so old that they are fast entering the coffin and pit the younger generation, they are likely to be played to death by him, such as the Ma Shangshu in front of him.
It was irrational to use a chair to pick Ma Shangshu's head, Qin Kan was stunned for a long time, and smiled bitterly: "Just after the New Year, Master Ma gave such a heavy gift to the juniors, I am really grateful, it seems that the boss wants to celebrate the Qingming Festival for the juniors......"
Ma Wensheng smiled at Su Ha and Ha Da Lang: "You don't know anything in your later life, do you think Li Dongyang is such a stingy person?" Even if the prime minister can't run a horse in his belly, at least he can hold up the ship......"
After a pause, Ma Wensheng said with a smile: "Li Dongyang asked the old man to tell you that you might as well go to the Li Mansion to sit and sit when you have time, the silver he lost here must be made up for by you, don't bring gifts when you go, just bring enough capital." ”
Qin Kanleng paused for a moment, and then felt truly grateful to Ma Wensheng in his heart.
Lao Ma was originally promoting him, and he was able to enter and exit the old mansion of Li Ge in the current dynasty to gamble money with Li Dongyang, and he was able to count the officials and military generals in the world, how many people could have won this honor?
In officialdom, many times others do not look at the size of your official position, but look at your qualifications, and gambling with Li Dongyang is also a kind of political capital, which is even more important than official position.
Qin Kan hurriedly got up and gave Ma Wensheng a long stroke: "Thank you Ma Lao for your love, and the younger generation will remember it in my heart." ”
Ma Wensheng looked at Qin Kan's gaze full of deep meaning: "Next year, I will tell His Majesty the old man, and the old man can't take care of the affairs of the court, but you are a close minister of the East Palace, the old man has to say a few words, the person you accompany all day long is the future monarch of my Ming Dynasty, you should be cautious, don't make a mistake, let alone make a mistake in the East Palace." Otherwise, you will be guilty of great sins. ”
Qin Kan understood.
There is no such thing as hatred for no reason. There is no love for no reason, Ma Wensheng is not simply appreciating him, but Qin Kan's current position, the prince is young and easy to be bewitched by traitors, the entire court is very concerned about the people around the prince, whether Zhu Houzhao will be a benevolent monarch or a tyrant in the future, it is directly related to the character of today's ministers in the East Palace, from Ma Wensheng's tone. Qin Kan could feel that he had little confidence in the future Ming Emperor.
Qin Kan really wanted to tell him that it was right not to be confident, and that Zhu Houzhao would indeed be a very unreliable emperor after he ascended the throne in the future, and he would break the hearts of the courtiers, and your retirement next year is the wisest decision you have ever made in your life, and there is no one.
Arching his hand, Qin Kan looked at Ma Wensheng with great sincerity and said, "Don't worry, Master Ma." The character of the younger generation is quite on the table. Although I am embarrassed to boast of being a humble gentleman, it is not far away, and the future king of the Ming Dynasty must be the British lord Mingjun. ”
Who knew that Ma Wensheng sighed worriedly and said, "It is precisely because the old man knows your character that he can't let go of his heart in the East Palace......"
Qin Kan: "............"
I want to slam the chair at Ma Wensheng's head again......

"I've talked about it, the guy who doesn't come to the door with nothing to do, let's say, what's the matter with taking the initiative to visit the old man today?"
Qin Kan hurriedly told the details of Du Hong's imprisonment. Ma Wensheng kept listening with his beard drooping his eyelids, and it wasn't until Qin Kan finished speaking that a slight discoloration flashed on his face.
"Shaoxing prefect Du Hong is actually your father-in-law?" Ma Wensheng was a little surprised.
"Exactly."
Ma Wensheng sighed and said: "The old man remembers this Du Hong, in the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, the Ministry of Officials took the Shanyin Zhi County to govern well, and the official reputation was very good, and he built water conservancy when he was in office. Encourage agriculture and mulberry, love the people like a son, the old man personally made a letter to Du Hong to show his merits, and later promoted to the prefect of Shaoxing, which was also recommended by the old man, and was promoted exceptionally...... Unexpectedly, Shaoxing was in office for less than a year, and he ended up in prison. ”
"Boss, the younger generation dares to vouch for the head of the item, Jiayue was framed by a traitor, and there is no command to kill the troublemakers, please be clear."
Ma Wensheng shook his head and said: "The old man only saw the report of the Zhejiang Political Envoy, which was conclusive, Du Hong instructed someone to kill the weaver There is clear human and material evidence, this matter involves more than a dozen lives, not that you can believe it if you say a word to the innocent old man Yue, the state has national law, and the old man cannot tolerate it." ”
Qin Kan couldn't help but be disappointed for a while, and gradually realized something about this case.
The human and physical evidence said that he would take it out, indicating that this was a carefully set trap, and the person who set this trap was inseparable from the Zhejiang Political Envoy Department and the Suzhou Weaving Bureau.
What is the truth, I can only wait for Du Hong to escort him to Beijing and then ask him in person.
"Boss, neither the younger generation nor the family is a person who ignores the law of the country, if the family is really guilty, why should the younger generation kill their relatives in righteousness. It's just that there are people outside the law of the country, there are good and evil feelings, the younger generation has a reluctant request, Jiayue's case is quite suspicious, and now Dongchang has taken over the case, the younger generation is young and vigorous, and Meng Lang has had a grudge with Dongchang, whether Jiayue has been wronged or not, it is difficult to escape from the hands of Dongchang after all, can you ask Dali Temple or the Criminal Department to take over the case from Dongchang? ”
Ma Wensheng pondered for a long time, he didn't know whether Du Hong's case was true or false, but Du Hong was personally commended by him to the emperor, and the Shaoxing prefect was also promoted by him personally.
If Du Hong falls into the hands of the Dongchang gang of killers, even if he is not guilty, Dongchang Fanzi will have a thousand ways to force him to admit his guilt, once the case is determined to be an iron case, his old face Ma Wensheng will be lost.
Transferring Du Hong's case from Dongchang to Dali Temple or the Criminal Department for trial, whether it is national law or human affection, is within the acceptable range, this is not a bending of the law for personal gain, think about it from another angle, this is even a good thing to protect the criminal ministers, not to be beaten into a trick, maybe it can be unanimously praised by the ministers of the court, and add a glorious stroke to his reputation after he retires in the future.
After hesitating for a long time, the muscles on Ma Wensheng's face trembled slightly, and he nodded: "The old man knows what to say." ”
The vague answer made Qin Kan very happy, and he understood what Ma Wensheng meant.
"Junior, thank you, boss." Qin Kan gratefully slammed towards Ma Wensheng to the ground.
Ma Wensheng said slowly: "Don't thank me for being busy, Xiao Jing of the celebrant and Wang Yueken of the Dongchang are not willing to agree, after all, this case has killed a supervising eunuch, and the matter has involved the inner court and the internal affairs government, if Wang Yue is unwilling to let go, the old man is helpless." ”
Qin Kan was stunned: "What should I do?" ”
Ma Wensheng glanced at him, his eyes were full of contempt, and said: "The eunuch is a slave of the heavenly family, although the East Palace cannot interfere with the inner court and the East Factory, but if you want to supervise whether the trial of a case is fair and strict, whether it is not in vain, but it can still be done, such help is close at hand, why do you give up the beauty of jade and seek the stubborn stone in this later life?" ”
