Chapter 101: Void and Wrongdoing

Li Yuntian slept alone in the wing room at night, and it stands to reason that his three concubines were all by his side, so he would not be reduced to the point of keeping an empty room alone. The update is the fastest and most stable, and you have to be fast.

But because he has three delicate concubines, he feels a headache, Lu Cao, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou are all frightened in the torture room today, and it is not good for him to stay with anyone, so he simply sleeps alone.

When he marries Zhou Yuting, he will not have this trouble, then he can go to Zhou Yuting's room, and others will not be able to say anything, maybe this is the trouble of happiness, he must always pay attention to the harmony of the back house, so as not to cause unnecessary entanglements, after all, women are very sensitive emotionally.

Early in the morning, Zheng Boxin's father-in-law came to visit, and it turned out that Wei Deguang had found him and asked him to come to Zheng's house to intercede, and asked Li Yuntian to let the Wei family go.

As for Wei Zhennan, Wei Deguang was already too busy to take care of himself at this time, where did he still have the heart to care about him.

Wei Zhennan not only ** Zhou Yuting in public, but also colluded with Fang Qing to arrest Zhou Yuting in the Yandao Yamen Prison, which can be described as an unforgivable crime and self-inflicted, and no one can save him this time.

Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting have no relatives and friends in Yangzhou City, so Wei Deguang had no choice but to take the road of Zheng Boxin, and he found Zheng Boxin's father-in-law through his connections.

Zheng Boxin's father-in-law couldn't erase the favor, so he had to come to Zheng Zhai hard, hoping that Zheng Boxin could intercede with the Wei family, which made Zheng Boxin in a dilemma.

To be honest, he couldn't open this mouth to Li Yuntian, this time not only Zheng Wanrou was also a victim, but he was almost humiliated in the torture cell of Yandao Prison.

However, Zheng Boxin's father-in-law owed too much to others before, and this time the other party came to him to ask for help, and he had to do his best.

In desperation, Zheng Boxin had no choice but to find Zheng Wanrou, hoping that Zheng Wanrou could say a few good words to Li Yuntian about the Wei family, so that his father-in-law could return the favor.

Although Zheng Wanrou was not willing to intervene in this matter, no matter how he said that Zheng Boxin was also his own brother, after weighing left and right, he still decided to tell Li Yuntian the truth, because in front of a smart person like Li Yuntian, any scheming is in vain, so it is better to explain it directly, and the effect is better.

Li Yuntian had already guessed that Wei Deguang would not sit still, but he didn't expect that he would move Zheng Boxin's father-in-law out, as the saying goes, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Zheng Boxin is Zheng Wanrou's eldest brother, he will definitely give this face, but he can't let Wei Deguang go in vain.

As for how to deal with the Wei family, Li Yuntian had already thought about it when he went to bed last night, and these people in the Salt Merchants Association could not move for the time being, so as not to affect the balance of power in the Salt Merchants Association, so that Wei Deguang could only break the fortune and avoid disasters if he wanted to survive this catastrophe.

Therefore, Li Yuntian told Zheng Wanrou that first of all, Wei Deguang wanted to donate 100,000 taels of silver to the Zuojun Governor's Mansion in the capital in his own name, because the Marquis of Zhongyong was the Zuodu Governor of the Zuojun Governor's Mansion, and this money was equivalent to showing goodwill to the Marquis of Zhongyong.

In addition, the commander of Yangzhou Wei made Han Hu busy for so long last night, and he couldn't let him and his brothers work in vain, so he donated 15,000 taels of silver to Yangzhou Wei.

These two requirements are Li Yuntian's bottom line, only in this way can he let go of the Wei family, otherwise, wouldn't others think that the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion is easy to bully.

As for whether the Zheng family should take the opportunity to make some requests to Wei Deguang, Li Yuntian didn't care, he believed that Zheng Boxin would grasp the proportions.

Zheng Wanrou couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart, she didn't expect Li Yuntian to agree to let go of the Wei family so happily, and she couldn't help but hug Li Yuntian's neck and kiss her passionately, which made Li Yuntian a little uneasy, and she almost couldn't hold it.

Zheng Boxin's father-in-law left happily after learning the good news, he knew that Wei Deguang had money, and he didn't care about the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at all. Zheng Boxin is also quite proud of this, it seems that Zheng Wanrou is very uncomfortable in front of Li Yuntian, and he has done such a difficult thing, he can't guess Li Yuntian's mind at all.

Near noon, news came from the Yamen of the Imperial Salt Patrol:

Fang Qing was sentenced to death for corruption, rape of women, and false accusations; The Qin judge was sentenced to fifty rods for embezzlement and dereliction of duty, and one thousand miles of exile; Bai Decai was sentenced to 50 rods and 1,500 li for false reporting.

Among the other people involved in the case, the jailers who attempted to rape Zhou Yuting and others in the torture chamber were all sentenced to death, and the rest of the cane punishments and the prison sentences were all duly punished.

As for the unlucky Wei Zhennan, Gao Sihai, the magistrate who has been handed over by Li Yuntian to the Yangzhou Prefecture Government Push Office, Wei Zhennan is the ** woman on the street, and it is a case under the management of the government.

Gao Sihai had already learned what happened in the courtyard of the Yandao Yamen prison yesterday, he really didn't expect that Li Yuntian would pull out his teeth and take so many people from the Yandao Yamen at once, and directly get rid of the two officials of the seventh grade, and it was Fan Ruhai and Shi Cheng'an who did it themselves, and they were immediately impressed by Li Yuntian.

I have to say that what Li Yuntian did last night was really wonderful, forcing all those involved in the case to confess without a single sentence, so that Fan Ruhai and Shi Chengan didn't even have a chance to plead for mercy.

Wei Zhennan could not escape death this time, he not only ** Zhou Yuting and others on the street, but also found someone to frame them for having an affair with the salt lord, adding to the crime, and was naturally sentenced to death, just waiting for the approval of the Criminal Department in the coming year, and was dragged to the execution ground to cut off his head during the autumn trial.

Li Yuntian felt that Fan Ruhai and Shi Chengan had made it clear that they wanted to solve this matter once and for all, so they were ruthless, so that Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting were explained, and it was not easy for others to find fault with them.

Zhou Yuting didn't expect Fan Ruhai and Shi Chengan to be so ruthless, they sentenced several death sentences at once, and punished all the people involved, which really gave her a sulk.

Not only that, but what made Zhou Yuting feel happy was that in the afternoon, Shi Chengan actually sent someone to send an invitation, inviting Zhou Yuting and Li Yuntian to go to the house for a banquet in the evening, and he wanted to give Zhou Yuting a wine to make amends.

No matter how he is the head of the Yandao Yamen, the things caused by his subordinates should be put down by him.

In Zhou Yuting's opinion, she has now fallen out with the Yamen of the Lianghuai Salt Road, and it is bound to become fire and water, but she didn't expect Shi Chengangui to make amends for her as the transfer envoy of the Lianghuai Salt Road.

This is why Li Yuntian did not delve into the case last night, he investigated Judge Qin and Fang Qing in order to help Zhou Yuting and his family get justice, Shi Chengan is understandable.

After finding out the ins and outs of the case, Li Yuntian did not take advantage of the situation to investigate the cattleness between the two Huai Salt Road Yamen and the salt merchants, which showed that he had no intention of intervening in the affairs of the Salt Road Yamen.

This invisibly gave Shi Chengan a reassurance, what Shi Chengan was most afraid of was that someone would take advantage of this to make trouble, so of course he had to repay the favor, properly solve the matter, and give Zhongyong Hou an explanation.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very relaxed, which belonged to the nature of a family banquet, and Shi Chengan's wife specially accompanied Zhou Yuting.

Li Yuntian and Shi Chengan were staggering, chatting and laughing at the wine table, and Shi Chengan did not forget to get close to Zhou Yuting, praising the bravery of the loyal and brave marquis.

When he came to Yangzhou to govern Yandao, he was a Beijing official, and he often saw the Marquis Zhongyong in the court, but the two had never dealt with each other.

Zhou Yuting felt that the scene in front of her was very funny, Li Yuntian and Shi Chengan were still tense enemies last night, and tonight they became friends who pushed the cup and changed the lamp.

Is it really like what Li Yuntian once said, there are no eternal enemies and friends in the world, only eternal interests?

As a civil official who has been in the capital for many years, Shi Chengan must mention Li Yuntian's mentor Yang Shiqi, indicating that Yang Shiqi is the elder he respects the most, and he is very happy that Yang Shiqi has accepted such an excellent disciple as Li Yuntian.

At the end of the dinner, the relationship between Li Yuntian and Shi Chengan had unconsciously narrowed a lot, because Zhou Yuting had the title of county lord, so Shi Chengan and his wife personally sent him and Zhou Yuting out of the door.

"This man is thoughtful, free-spirited, and capable, and can achieve immeasurably over time." Looking at the carriage in the distance, Shi Chengan's brows furrowed slightly, and he said to his wife on the side in a deep voice, "Fortunately, he didn't intend to target the Yandao Yamen, otherwise it would have set off a bloody storm." ”

Shi Cheng'an, as a dignified Lianghuai salt road transfer envoy, is naturally not afraid of Li Yuntian, a small county governor of the seventh grade, and what he can't afford is Yang Shiqi and Zhongyong Hou behind Li Yuntian.

Out of the vigilance that he has cultivated in officialdom for many years, Shi Chengan is a little skeptical that Li Yuntian will have another purpose when he comes to Yangzhou City, why is Zhou Yuting's identity so prominent, why was he willing to be arrested in the prison of Yandao Yamen? He had a faint smell of conspiracy.

Fortunately, he guessed wrong, Li Yuntian had no intention of moving the Yandao Yamen at all, which made him relieved and decided to rectify the people of the Yandao Yamen, you must know that there are still many people in this world that they can't afford to mess with.

On the way home, Li Yuntian, who was full of alcohol, leaned on Zhou Yuting's shoulder and took a nap, don't look at Shi Cheng'an, who is almost in the year of the Mandate of Heaven, but the amount of alcohol is not ordinarily good, Li Yuntian drank a lot with him.

"What do you think?" Zhou Yuting sat there with her chin in her hands, looking at the opposite wall in a daze, Li Yuntian felt that she had something on her mind, so she asked.

"I think you and Shi Cheng'an are hypocritical." Zhou Yuting came back to her senses, turned her head to look at Li Yuntian and said, when she thought of Li Yuntian and Shi Cheng'an talking and laughing at the banquet in the evening, she felt panicked.

"Acting on the spot, these are the two indispensable things in officialdom." Li Yuntian laughed when he heard this, opened his eyes, and stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Yuting in his arms, "Only if joy and anger are invisible, then the other party can't guess your thoughts, and they will be afraid of you and dare not act rashly." ”

"You scholars just like to intrigue, unlike our martial artists, who have a hearty personality and go straight." Zhou Yuting muttered a little depressedly, the longer she stayed with Li Yuntian, the more she felt that Li Yuntian's city was unfathomable, and she could deal with it with ease in front of Shi Chengan, instead of being submissive like ordinary officials.

"I like to go straight too, or I'll go to your boudoir in the evening." Li Yuntian smiled slightly, leaned into Zhou Yuting's ear and said with a hippie smile, especially on the words "straight to the point".

"Nasty!" The heat from Li Yuntian's mouth made Zhou Yuting's ears itch for a while, and she didn't understand what Li Yuntian meant at first, until she heard Li Yuntian mention "boudoir" in a tone, and then she knew what Li Yuntian meant, and she couldn't help blushing and pushed Li Yuntian away.

Looking at Zhou Yuting, who had rosy cheeks, Li Yuntian suddenly laughed, took her in his arms again, closed his eyes and took a nap, sometimes these innocuous little jokes can have a wonderful effect on enhancing the relationship between the two. One
