Chapter Eighty-Three: Who Benefits
"Master Fu. If I'm not mistaken, it was said that a few days ago, a fire broke out in your Fujia warehouse, and a lot of things were burned. Xie Yaoguang twisted the fan to cover his face, and his phoenix eyes bent a little sharply and disdainfully. Which silks are not damaged?"
"Nature doesn't have it...... Besides, Miss Xie may wish to inquire about my Fu family, and they have always been honest in business. Glancing at Xie Yaoguang coldly, the unhappiness in Fu Shugu's heart was no longer concealed and generously presented on his face.
Stroke the fantail tassel. Raising his eyes and chuckling, Xie Yaoguang's tone was full of disgust. "That's a good feeling. Since His Royal Highness King Dingwang and Hubu Shangshu are in the city, we might as well invite them to comment on it!"
Fu Shugu pondered whether Xie Yaoguang was not deeply involved in the world, and he didn't know the depth of officialdom. He has King Shou on his head, even if King Ding and Hubu Shangshu have any ideas, they have to take care of King Shou. Where will it be easy to help her, maybe this time I can only suffer a loss and go back with these rotten cloths.
Knowing what he was thinking at a glance, the contempt in Xie Yaoguang's eyes gradually spread to the corners of his lips. King Shou is not a benevolent and righteous master, whether you use you when you are valuable, to the point that it will damage his interests, it is better to give it up as soon as possible.
After all, King Shou cherishes his shiny feathers very much.
"Sir! Oh no, His Royal Highness King Dingwang and Lord Shangshu Xia of the Ministry of Household Affairs have come to assassinate the Shifu and asked you to hurry over. ”
Hearing the voice of the Fu family, Xie Yaoguang smiled and played with the fan in his hand.
Fu Shugu, who didn't know why, felt that this matter was strange, but still made people hurry back. As for Xie Yaoguang, he didn't delay his order, and Zhuo Jing arranged for someone to carry the box to the Thorn Mansion.
Ye Linchen and Xia Fu had been waiting for a long time in the Assassin's Mansion, and at this time, they saw Xie Yaoguang and Fu Shugu coming together, and glanced at each other slightly.
Fu Shugu sensed that the atmosphere in the mansion was not right, so he stepped into the hall and saluted respectfully, while Xie Yaoguang only made a symbolic bow and quietly stepped aside under Ye Linchen's gaze.
"His Royal Highness the King! This woman is so bold and reckless that she dares to falsely accuse the court officials, which is really hateful! Weichen thought that he should be severely punished!"
"Hey, Fu Tingshi is not in a hurry about this. Miss Xie is rich and wealthy, she is definitely not bad for these money, and she is a celebrity next to His Royal Highness King Shou, you two are not a family" Xia Fu smiled and glanced at Fu Shugu, and said in a deep voice: "What you should consider is how to solve other things." ”
Fu Shugu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xie Yaoguang, who had a dull look, and his doubts became more and more serious. This Xie Yaoguang is actually still the person next to King Shou?
"Bring everybody up."
Before Huang Fu Ling brought people in. Ye Linchen watched Xia Fu write the peasants' pleadings and his own folds, and his face showed coldness, "Lord Thorn Shi might as well take a look at what is written on it." ”
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Wechen is guilty?"
Seeing that Ye Linchen was silent, he could only open the fold very reluctantly. At this moment, Huangfu Ling also happened to lead a few cleanly dressed peasants inside, and after saluting everyone in the hall, he stepped aside and bowed his head silently.
"Your Highness! These peasants are completely falsely accusing Wechen! Wechen has never done anything like this! Fu Shugu swept Ye Linchen's face and then moved his eyes to the peasants, and knelt down on his knees and said loudly: "Besides, they are tenants of the wealthy gentry's family, don't you know?" Moreover, Weichen has been an official for many years, and knows how the laws of the court dare to do things like collusion between officials and businessmen, and asks His Royal Highness to act impartially and to be fair. ”
After saying the words loudly, Fu Shugu immediately lowered his head. But he couldn't see the respect and frustration of being framed, but the smugness grew.
"It's not your turn to say whether it's fair or not." Ye Linchen raised his eyes and glanced at the slightly older farmer, motioning for him to come out and speak.
Because Ye Linchen promised to come first, the farmer was not afraid to put out what he knew. Fu Shugu's expression kept changing as he spoke, and finally became gloomy.
"Fu Assassin Shi, what else do you have to say to this king!" Ye Linchen reprimanded, "What is conclusive, does Fu Assassin still have to defend himself?" ”
Fu Shugu thought about it and bowed to the ground, "Weichen doesn't dare!" I just hope that Your Highness will not listen to such one-sided words of Diao Min, you should know that the achievements of Weichen in recent years are also good in the Ministry of Officials, and even His Majesty praises Weichen. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can write to the court and ask the emperor to decide! ”
Hearing this, Ye Linchen couldn't help but twist his eyebrows and just wanted to speak, when he saw Xie Yaoguang shaking his head at him and swallowing his words back to pretending to be indecisive. He looked at Xia Fu again, as if he wanted to ask for an answer from him.
"Since Fu Assassin Shi wants his father to decide, this king will go to the court today! Please ask my father to send someone to deal with this matter. Ye Linchen snorted, his eyes suddenly fell on Fu Shugu, and his tone was slightly cold.
When Fu Shugu heard this, his eyes were a few inches deeper. It is not without confusion that he has been immersed in officialdom over the years, just because there are two big trees, Bai Caishu and Shouwang, and it has been smooth sailing over the years. And he was originally a member of the imperial court, Ye Linchen was stupid and dull to listen to Diao Min's slander and slander himself.
This matter is naturally as big as possible for Fu Shugu, and the emperor will intervene in this matter at that time. There are also two parties controlled by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, plus they have done everything over the years, and the account books of the lost building have reported that they have already transferred it before the fire in the lost building. There is no evidence to convict him based on the false accusations of a few people. Moreover, if the relationship between the upper and lower levels is dredged, it is impossible for him to be convicted.
"I can't imagine that Fu Shi's behavior is so arrogant." Xie Yao glanced at her with a sneer, and sneered, "I hope you will give me an explanation before entering Beijing!" I obviously ordered silk, why do you use summer cloth coarse cloth to act as it! Don't you think my Xie family is easy to bully?"
"Miss Xie, our family doesn't talk to each other. It's my guys who made a mistake, don't you mind. Fu Shugu got up and waved it and smiled softly.
Xie Yaoguang paced to his side and smiled, "Fu Tingshi, is this trying to calm things down?" But it's calculated. is shoddy, and you still want to pay attention to integrity with my Xie family? As for the family, the Xie family I represent today is not King Shou, and I hope you don't bite me at will!"
The righteousness of these words is awe-inspiring, and he doesn't give Fushugu half of his face at all. Originally, Fu Shugu thought that Xie Yaoguang would probably not investigate this matter because he was also a person of King Shou. I never thought that Xie Yaoguang would be so stubborn and even intended to force himself with this matter, and he wanted to pay compensation according to the price. It's ridiculous, why should she be compensated for the loss of her big business.
Miss Xie opened her mouth. But now that I'm burdened with the matter of forcing people to be slaves, I'm afraid it will take a while to solve this matter, or you will wait in Jinling for me to come back and deal with it?"
"Absolutely."
This is the end of the matter. Xie Yaoguang left for Gusu that night and arrived in the capital at the same time as Ye Linchen and Xia Fulian's letter and the pleadings written by the people, which mercilessly exposed the history of Jinling's assassination - Fu Shugu, and abused his power in Jinling, disregarded people's lives, annexed land, and forced people to be slaves.
Emperor Li was furious and immediately ordered the two to escort Fu Shugu into Beijing to find out the matter. At the same time, it was arranged for Wu Hook Terrace and Yu Shi Terrace to go to Jinling to investigate Jinling and other matters of various sizes. And the prince's party also took the opportunity to make trouble in this matter, pointing out that the Jinling Assassin Shi Fu Shugu was originally a businessman who could not be assessed in the middle of the assessment! So it took tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy the position of Jinling Assassin from the hands of the official Shangshu, and then he even bribed his boss even harder.
These words caused an uproar in Emperor Li's heart. Emperor Li knew that this matter existed, but as long as it did not cause too much turmoil, he would not interfere. But I didn't expect Bai Caishu to choose such a person to go to Jinling to assassinate the history, make the entire Jinling a miasma, and dare to bribe the boss!
And Ye Linchen said that the performance presented was even more blood and tears, under the deficit of white paper is the giant axe condensed by the blood and tears of the people of Jinling, and the fig leaf gathered above Jinling was split with all its might, and the darkness and dirtiness presented made people have to be moved......
Emperor Li considered himself to be a clear and honest ruler and regarded himself as a virtuous monarch. thought that the country under his rule was prosperous in Pingning, but he never thought that there would be such a tragic situation in Jinling, which is a short distance from Gusu.
With his heavy power and cherishing his reputation, how could he tolerate Fu Shugu's wanton behavior. At that moment, he ordered King Shou to think about it behind closed doors at home, in order to set an example.
