Chapter 102: Two Women's Families
As for the county magistrate who was belated, as early as when he came, Han Tao didn't say a word, and directly ordered people to take him back to the prison in Fucheng and detain him.
If the eleventh prince knows, maybe he will be delayed in arresting people again.
To say that the eleventh prince is a straw bag, it is definitely blind, the eleventh prince is thoughtful, more than him, he is just curious, why does the eleventh prince always stop when he orders to arrest people.
In fact, Han Tao had long wanted to order people to arrest all the cities and counties involved and the relevant officials, he was not as merciful as the eleventh prince, otherwise Pang Dehou would have been imprisoned a long time ago, where would there be time for him to be free outside.
He couldn't understand why the eleventh prince was so sure, and Pang Dehou was blinded?
Could it be that the eleventh prince and Pang Dehou have a personal relationship?
So how can this case be investigated?
Could it be that he, the messenger, is going to come to Fengquan Mansion to be played around?
He thought that he and the eleventh prince came out to handle the case together, and the two of them could have some kinship, but how could he know that the eleventh prince seemed to be completely ignorant, did he want to remind him himself?
Wouldn't that make the eleventh prince think that he wanted to make friends, and he had a bad impression.
Just when Han Tao was thinking about the case, his confidant Jiang Ren came to report: "My lord, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Yu ask to see you." ”
Han Tao's face was stunned, and he asked, "What Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Yu?"
Jiang Ren replied: "It is the wife of Xu Peicang, the magistrate of Lankou County, and Yu Shibao, the supervisor of the fortifications. ”
Han Tao frowned slightly, and said, "Two women, what are you looking for?" Let them be sent back. ”
Jiang Ren hesitated for a moment before saying, "My lord, Mrs. Yu claims that if you don't release you from the capital prison, she will go to Beijing to accuse you of your guilt in front of King Xian. ”
When Han Tao heard this, he was immediately furious: "What! Do they dare to sue the official for his crimes? This official is a messenger, doesn't he even have the right to arrest sinners? Virtuous King? What do they have to do with the virtuous king! Do you still think that the virtuous king can cover the sky with one hand? ”
Jiang Ren was worried in his heart, where did he dare to say anything more, so he had to lower his head.
Han Tao lost his temper, shook his sleeves angrily, and said: "Take them to the front hall of the mansion, and the official will personally ask how they want to sue the official!" ”
Jiang Renru was relieved, and hurriedly retreated.
Han Tao made a face and looked at the two women with teary eyes in the hall.
These are these two women who threaten to go to the virtuous king to sue him?
As soon as the two women saw Han Tao appear, they raised their hands to wipe away the tears from the corners of their eyes, and bowed together.
"The people's woman Xu Qiaoshi knocked to see Lord Qincha."
"The folk woman knocked on the Qian family to see Lord Qincha."
Han Tao's face was like frost, and he said, "What are you two looking for this official?"
I only heard that Yu Qian's words said: "My lord, the people's woman and Princess Xian are cousins, you can't just put my lord in prison, my lord is innocent." ”
Han Tao sneered twice, stared at Yu Qian tightly, and said, "Are you threatening this official?"
Yu Qian was stunned, looking at Han Tao behind the public case in a daze, and Mu Na shook his head.
Han Tao continued: "Princess Xian, do you know that you are threatening this official here in the name of her at this time?" What's more, whether Yu Shibao is guilty or not, whether he is innocent or not, this can only be concluded after the official and the eleventh prince find out. ”
"Or do you think that you, a little lady of the capital eunuch and the cousin of Princess Xian, can decide the guilt and innocence of the people of the world for the imperial court?"
When Yu Qian heard this, his appearance changed greatly, and he was instantly white and colorless, and the whole person knelt on the ground weakly, and said in a daze: "The people's woman...... Don't dare ......"
Han Tao's brows moved slightly, and he said coldly: "Don't dare? You even dare to threaten the imperial court's ambassador, what else do you not dare?"
"My lord......" Xu Qiaoshi said timidly: "Mrs. Yu is just in a hurry, and she has no words, please don't be surprised." ”
When Han Tao heard this, his expression softened a little, and finally there was someone who could speak, he said: "Originally, you are just a woman's family, and the official doesn't need to say more to you, but I also think that you are also a husband saver, and the official doesn't care about you, but he can only remind you with good words." ”
"This time the moat collapsed and suffered heavy losses, Xu Peicang and Yu Shibao, as the magistrate and capital supervisor of Lankou County, have direct responsibility, and now they are only in prison to be investigated, and they have not been directly beheaded to set an example, which is already an extrajudicial favor."
As soon as he heard the word beheading, Yu Qian's whole person seemed to have no soul.
Han Tao sighed secretly, no matter how angry the people in the hall were, they were just two women, and there was suddenly no pillar in the house, so they were going to panic after all.
Xu Qiao's eyes were red, and he choked up: "My lord, is there really no way to save my master?"
"Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped, and as for how to convict, we have to wait for the facts of the case to be clarified before conviction." Han Tao said and looked at Yu Qian, who had lost his soul, and continued: "This time, the eleventh prince and this official are investigating the case together, and you don't want to think that King Xian will stand up for you, King Xian is now under house arrest in the palace, and he can't help you." ”
When Yu Qian heard this, his body shook, and tears fell from his eyes.
In the end, with the support of Xu Qiao's family, he left the mansion.
At the door of the mansion, Xu Qiaoshi held the depressed Yu Qian with one hand, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Yu, let's go back and settle the family members, if it is...... If there is really anything wrong with our master, it will not be a big mess in the family. ”
Yu Qian's eyes turned back blankly, looked at the gate of the mansion, gritted his teeth secretly, and said, "We can't sit still at home, there must be some way to save the master." ”
Xu Qiaoshi frowned and said, "Mrs. Yu, Lord Qincha also said just now, let's wait for the case to be implemented." ”
Yu Qian stared at Xu Qiaoshi sideways, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Is Mrs. Xu afraid?" If I don't do anything, whether our lord lives or dies is only in the words of those high-ranking officials. ”
Xu Qiao's heart trembled, and said, "Mrs. Yu, how do you want to save it?" Could it be that you really want to go to Beijing to find Princess Xian? ”
Yu Qian smiled coldly and said, "What Lord Han said is right, don't say that Princess Xian and I are just cousins, even if they are sisters, I'm afraid that Princess Xian won't have time to take care of us at this time." ”
"That'...... Then you ......"
"Before my lord went to see Lord Han, he mentioned to me that if he had any accidents, he would go to Fucheng to find Zeng Zuo Shaoyin. At this time, I think about it, only Master Zeng should be able to save our master. Yu Qian said with a grim face.
"Lord Zeng?" Xu Qiao's general was suspicious: "King Xian can't help us, can Lord Zeng?" ”
Yu Qian stretched out his hand and patted Xu Qiao's shoulder, and said, "How do you know if it works if you don't give it a try, it's better than doing nothing and waiting for death." ”
