The yamen is open to the south, don't come in if you don't have money, in the past, there was a gap in front of the yamen, especially the yamen of corrupt officials, that is the door can be a bird, today's Yizhou Mansion Ya, shoulder to shoulder, bustling, the little guys selling pastries have done the business in front of the yamen, and the business is unusually hot.

Liu Chengyi told the young master of the mansion, and Leng Shi stood in front of the yamen of the mansion and called, "Anyone else who has been bullied by the young master of the prefect, as long as the grievances are true, they can enter the yamen to complain, if it is falsely accused, the board of the little prince is not so easy to suffer." ”

After Leng Shi finished speaking, the accompanying guards over there made way of the way, and it was the young master of the prefect who was trying the case at this time, and no one was allowed to enter, and no one dared to challenge the majesty of the little prince, so they all waited with peace of mind.

Seven or eight men and women stepped up the steps, and there was a commotion from there, "Let go of me, you have eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard, dare to tie up Young Master Ben?!" Wait and get through the prison! ”

The secret guard pressed the prefect's eldest young master over, Leng Shi saw him struggling, and he made a big sneer, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, "The courage of the county prince is no less timid than the ambitious leopard!" ”

The prefect's young master didn't know that it was Ye Guiyue who caught him, and when he was struggling, he heard the people around him talking, and he had a kind of fear of hindsight, King Yuejun, he was an overlord in Kyoto, no one dared to mess with him, wasn't it a good warm and soft pillow in Yichun Building, how could it appear in the yamen, didn't my father greet Lord Shilang?

The secret guard pressed the prefect's eldest young master into the mansion, and he saw his father and a group of Yizhou officials kneeling there, enough for seventeen or eighteen people, all of them were pale and sweating like rain, especially his father, who wiped his sweat with his official robe.

He was about to ask for help, when he felt a pain in his knees, and was kicked to his knees by the secret guards.

Ye Guiyue sipped the tea leisurely, occasionally glanced at the people in the hall, and after a glance, his eyes fell on the shocking wood. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he slapped the shocked wood heavily, "Who is kneeling in the hall?" ”

After asking, Zhiwan felt a little stupid. Knowing who was being tried, and still asking like this, Zhiwan's face was a little red, but no one thought that she was asking wrong, this was originally the trial process, and it was also to be recorded.

The prefect wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and begged for mercy, "The prince of the county, the princess of the county, the dog is young and ignorant, and you adults have a lot of them. Spare him this time, right? ”

Zhiwan looked at the prefect's eldest young master speechlessly, "Young and ignorant? The prefect can't be busy with government affairs and neglect to discipline his son, and he doesn't even know how old his son is this year, right? ”

Someone replied below, "The prefect's eldest young master is eighteen years old." I already have a wife and children! ”

Zhiwan hooked his lips and smiled, smiling charmingly, "It seems that the young and ignorant is not the prefect's young master, but the prefect's lord." ”

That you heard that the back of the lord of the mansion was cold for a while, he was a fourth-grade official, in the eyes of the princess of the county, that was the sesame mung bean. When a sesame seed falls to the ground, can it be seen in the eye?

Ye Guiyue put down the teacup, coughed, to be precise, he was only half drunk, and he was snatched by a certain woman and gave him the startling wooden stopper. urged him to hurry up and try the case.

Everything is in accordance with the process, sending the pleadings, appeals, and human and physical evidence to the scene.

In Zhiwan's opinion, the crime of the prefect's eldest young master was enough for him to drag out and beat him to death. But he still didn't admit it, and kept saying that Zhiwan and Ye Guiyue were oppressive, and Leng Feng proposed a punishment, and he didn't dare not admit it, but he jumped out of a bending trick.

This torture into a trick was said by Lord Shilang, the prefect of Yizhou is the person of the king, it is reasonable, he has to protect him a little, Zhiwan raised his eyebrows, "Lord Shilang is right, it can't be bent into a trick, and this board torture instrument can't be on his body." ”

As long as you don't draw a confession, you can't be sentenced, this is the rule, so you know the way, "Come on, bring honey, splash it on me, and tie it up in the garden after splashing!" ”

After hearing the cold wind, he was trembling, the most poisonous woman's heart, the bee is the most able to provoke bees and ants, and if he was thrown in the garden, the prefect's young master was bitten by ants in less than half an hour, and that feeling was that he couldn't bear it, let alone the pampered prefect and young master.

Lord Squire was also stunned, with a look of horror in his eyes, "Princess Jun, it's cruel to do this, right?" ”

Zhiwan looked at him funny, shook Ye Guiyue's jade fan, very free and easy, and the good-looking lips hooked, which became a touch of sarcasm, "Cruel? Lord Shilang sat here and listened for a long time, why didn't he feel that the prefect's young master was cruel, robbed the people's daughter, and forced her to commit suicide, isn't it that Lord Shilang thinks that the people's daughter can enter the official's house as a concubine, which is a blessing that she has cultivated for eight lifetimes, right? Lord Shilang thinks so, but I will suspect that there are such people in the Shilang Mansion, aside from this, occupy the people's land, force people to move the ancestral grave, people don't want the old people to be uneasy, he connived at the family to beat people to death, to be honest, when I heard Lord Shilang say that I am cruel, the first thing I thought of was to send someone to dig your ancestral grave, and then beat you to death, and the word cruelty is not touched, Lord Shilang will not blame me, right? ”

When Lord Shilang heard Zhiwan's words, the top of his head was full of smoke, the hands holding the pear blossom wooden chair were bruised, his teeth jumped tightly, and there was a thick layer of killing intent at the bottom of his eyes.

Lord Shirou almost blew his heart and lungs in anger, especially the low laughter around him, like an ice blade, slapping his face fiercely.

The dark guard with the killing stick in his hand really couldn't hold it back, so he laughed out loud, and when Zhiwan glanced over, the dark guards all straightened their looks, but their shoulders were still shaking irregularly, the princess of the county's mouth was really good, and bluntly said that he was going to dig the ancestral grave of Lord Shilang, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he didn't dare to refute, no wonder the county prince had nothing to do with him, I really don't know what the little prince and the little county lord will be like when they grow up.

The only squire who could help with the intercession was so angry that the prefect's eldest young master could still escape, the secret guard came and dragged him out, and after only two steps, he begged for mercy, "I'll move, I'll move!" ”

Zhiwan shrugged his shoulders, a little disappointed, he was recruited so easily, so he didn't have a sense of accomplishment. But the smile in those beautiful eyes betrayed her, and she was still very happy!

Zhiwan looked at Liu Chengyi and said with a smile, "You are familiar with the laws of Dayue." The prefect's eldest young master is punished for several crimes, how should he be punished? ”

Liu Chengyi was repaid for his grievances, and he was happy in his heart, and hurriedly replied, "He is guilty of heinous crimes, he should be punished with capital punishment, and the good land he occupied should be returned to the people...... It's just that the law of Da Viet stipulates that all death sentences must be submitted to the Criminal Department for trial and approval. ”

The death penalty is too severe, and the district government only has the right to find out and determine the punishment. If the death penalty is to be carried out and handed over to the criminal department, Liu Chengyi said a lot of things, and in the end he felt a little sorry that the princess of the county only stayed in Yizhou for a few days. If the prefect was escorted to Beijing, the prefect would definitely find a way to save him, or replace him with another condemned prisoner, and he would still escape.

Liu Chengyi regretted, there was a dark color in his eyes, and he heard a bang, and the punishment order was thrown down. Then came the loud voice, "Drag it out, cut it!" ”

Lord Shilang was taken aback, stood up and said, "The prince of the county is not proper, although he will not escape the death penalty maniac." However, it must also be carried out in accordance with the laws of Dayue, and it is rash to be punished with capital punishment, which is difficult to convince the public. ”

Ye Guiyue sat there, looked at Lord Shilang impatiently, and threw away the punishment order. "Drag it out and fight!"

As soon as the dark guard heard this, he came over to drag Lord Lang and asked, "Master, how many boards do you play?" ”

"Beat him until he realizes his mistake and begs for mercy!"

After saying that, Lord Shilang was dragged out, and he was not given a chance to beg for mercy, just kidding, once he begged for mercy, he couldn't fight, I saw that he was unhappy, how could he have played enough to play thirty boards, and only then did he solve his dumb learning!

was dragged out together with the prefect's eldest young master, whose crimes were not only to forcibly occupy the people's daughters and occupy the people's land, but also to ride a horse across the street and trample the old man to death......

As for the prefect who fainted to death when he learned that his son was going to be executed, he didn't have a good face at night, and he was able to cultivate his son with this virtue.

The next trial is the prefect, and those who can be bullied by the prefect are not ordinary people, at least in Yizhou, they are all figures with heads and faces, and the three melons and two dates are left for the people under his hands to grab.

Speaking of which, the prefect is still very concerned about his face, and he didn't come forward to do anything wrong, but he was the one who cleaned up his hind legs and supported people, such as the young master who accidentally killed someone, sued the yamen, and was the one who took people's money and did things with people.

There are three people who came today, all because the family background is not rich enough, and reasonable has become unreasonable, Ye Guiyue listened for a while, and with a shocking shot, the prefect's black gauze hat was taken off, and he was directly assigned to the border pass, five years.

After the trial, the prefect's sister-in-law found a gap and asked the governor to go to dinner in the evening, and then continue when she was full.

Not to mention two days, in one afternoon, more than half of the dozen or so officials were dismissed, some of the weak ones were released after dozens of boards, some were confiscated for thousands of miles, and some serious crimes were raided.

In a few hours, the Yizhou Mansion was washed clean, and there were not a few officers and soldiers who were beaten, and the speed of the trial made Zhiwan speechless, and he leaned into Ye Guiyue's ear and said, "Isn't it too fast, and many of them have been punished without verifying the truth." ”

Ye Guiyue sipped his tea, "Yizhou if it weren't for the emperor who couldn't tolerate it, and he wouldn't force me to make a move, Yizhou has a wide range of land, and the taxes of all dynasties are not a few, in the past three years, Yizhou's taxes have been less than in the past by 500,000 taels, and these silver coins have fallen into the hands of King Xiang, King Xiang is rebelling, they are accomplices, for these people, in fact, there is no need for criminal evidence, and they can be disposed of for the husband." ”

Zhiwan listened to it and understood in his heart that the emperor was going to change the official offices of Yizhou up and down, the big ones were assigned to fill the army, and the small ones were punished and punished, disrupting the layout of the king, forcing him to mess up his own position, but, "Yizhou Mansion, there are dozens of officials from top to bottom, all of them are eliminated at one time, who will manage them?" ”

Ye Guiyue took a sip of tea, glanced at Zhiwan, her beautiful phoenix eyes flashed slightly, and her eyes fell on Liu Chengyi, who was sitting on the side of the master and writing hard, it was originally Leng Feng's work, but Leng Feng was used to holding a sword, and he really couldn't hold the pen for a long time, and it happened that Liu Chengyi was familiar with the law and quite talented, so he was pulled over to act as a master.

Liu Chengyi was writing seriously, when suddenly something fell from the sky, and he was so frightened that he even dropped the ink pen in his hand, and his face turned pale.

But when he saw what was the thing that scared him, his face turned even paler, the prefect's official seal!

Liu Chengyi cautiously walked up to Ye Guiyue with the official seal in his hand, "Lord Jun, why is this official seal ......?" ”

Ye Guiyue unfolded the jade fan with a snap and glanced at Liu Chengyi. "From now on, you are the prefect of Yizhou, responsible for handling the affairs of Yizhou, if the king of this county finds out that you are greedy and oppressive of the people. It's not as simple as Ling Chi's execution. ”

Liu Chengyi was stunned, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, what did what Ye Guiyue said meant to him, he just looked at Ye Guiyue and Zhiwan out of the mansion in a daze, and still patted him on the shoulder with a cold wind and said, "You are responsible for investigating the remaining officials and cases, as long as you act in accordance with the law and don't leave people a handle, the little prince will cover you." When you encounter those who bully people and don't take you as the prefect, you can go to the little prince, understand? ”

Leng Feng told him directly that the little prince was his backer. But the premise is that he can't do things that oppress the people and dominate one side, Liu Chengyi looked at the official seal in his hand, his head was a little dizzy, so he became the prefect?

He is just a little showman, or is he a showman who has been stripped of his fame, why was he hit by the official seal of the prefect?

Wait for the government office. Zhiwan couldn't help but ask, "Just handed over Yizhou to him like this?" ”

Ye Guiyue grabbed Zhiwan's hand and said with a smile, "If you don't hand it over to him, who will handle the rest of the cases?" The Yizhou Mansion was empty, before the imperial court sent officials to come. Someone has to do it. ”

Zhiwan still didn't understand, but when she got into the carriage, she figured it out, Yizhou is the entrenchment of King Xiang, he can't have Yizhou lost, and he will definitely try his best to transfer people to Yizhou. With the shrewdness of King Xiang, he will definitely do it quietly, if there are people in Yizhou who return to Yue, all civil and military officials will keep their eyes on Yizhou, and it is not easy for King Xiang to cover the sky with one hand.

"It's just that Liu Chengyi is a commoner and grants him the position of prefect, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree."

The transfer of the official position, even if it is the appointment of a nine-rank sesame official, is a very serious matter, even if the emperor does not know, the left and right ministers must know, the prefect of the fourth-grade official, that is for the emperor to speak, didn't he rob the emperor's rights?

Ye Guiyue smiled lightly and didn't speak, making Zhiwan think, and soon, Zhiwan figured it out, "I understand, the emperor wants to control the Yizhou regime, if he can send trustworthy people over, he must occupy the position of Liu Chengyi's prefect, if it doesn't work, then let Liu Chengyi do it first, in the name of supervision, send trustworthy people to Yizhou, if Liu Chengyi is smart, maybe he can become a useful talent for the emperor." ”

Ye Guiyue pinched Zhiwan's nose and said with a smile, "You have pulled out King Xiang's minions in Yizhou in the name of Chen'er, and the name of the little prince will spread all over Kyoto. ”

Zhiwan listened and said with a smile, "Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, aren't you afraid that such a sharp edge will break him?" ”

Ye Guiyue laughed, "Chen'er will be the big tree behind him." ”

“…… I think Chen'er is a small flower stuck between the prince and the emperor, and it's almost the same. ”

“……。”

After laughing for a while, Zhiwan lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the streets of Yizhou, the hawkers, the fragrance of pastries, and the shouting and shouting, the wealth and prosperity are not much worse than Kyoto.

When they arrived at the small courtyard, the food was fragrant, and in the main house, Su Xiangxing and Su Ang sat there drinking tea, discussing things, and when they saw Zhiwan and Ye Guiyue coming in, they hurriedly got up to greet each other.

Zhiwan had a headache when he saw it, "Why is my uncle so outside, you are an elder, and you salute when you see it, how can you let Zhiwan be a good junior?" ”

Su Xiangxing couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head and said helplessly, "Uncle can't do those false courtesies, I've been busy in the yamen for an afternoon, let's eat, this is the most authentic food in Yizhou." ”

Knowing that he was hungry early in the evening, he smelled the fragrance and swallowed his saliva, cleaned his hands and went to the table, and he was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables, and was about to eat them in his mouth, when his nose moved lightly, his face changed, and he slapped Su Ang's hand, which was about to eat vegetables, and a piece of mapo tofu fell down.

Zhiwan's moment was not light, Su Ang looked at the tofu that fell on his brocade robe with some innocence, what happened to his cousin?

Su Xiangxing frowned, all the way out of Kyoto, they all ate at the same table, regardless of dignity or inferiority, why are they so abnormal today?

Ye Guiyue's brows furrowed, and his face was cold, "Poisonous in the food?" ”

Zhiwan nodded, "Arsenic." ”

Su Xiangxing's face changed greatly, if he was one step too late, Ang Erke would be killed, "These foods were bought by the guards from major restaurants, how could they be poisoned?" ”

Zhiwan Si Cen said, "The person who poisoned us must have followed us all the way, knowing that every time we go to a place, we have to eat the signature dishes of that place, so we poisoned it in the restaurant, such an inferior poisoning method, I don't know if it's the old lady?" ”

Ye Guiyue frowned, he wasn't sure if it was an old lady.

The dishes on the table were poisoned, although not every plate was poisonous, but the mood of eating was ruined, and Zhiwan ordered the kitchen below.

Afraid that they would be hungry, Poria brought a few plates of pastries, and the cold wind used a silver needle to poison them beforehand.

Su Xiangxing also heard that the old lady of the Zhennan Wangfu sent someone to assassinate Ye Guiyue, in addition to being speechless, he had nothing to say, the grandmother wanted to kill his own grandson, and more than once, what could he say as an outsider, but he felt that the old lady was a madman in his heart, and he didn't want to say more, so he changed the topic and said, "The Wu family didn't want to do this business, after all, Yizhou is the territory of the Zhou family, and the matter of the cleaning of the Yizhou yamen by the prince of Fangcai County reached the ears of the head of the Wu family, he said to think about it overnight and give me an answer tomorrow morning." ”

Zhiwan was slightly stunned, "The head of the Wu family is also in Yizhou?" ”

Su Ang nibbled on the pastry and said, "Coincidentally, I was just discussing with the second master of the Wu family, but I didn't expect the head of the Wu family to be here, if he is here, he can save a lot of time, and he will be able to leave for Yongzhou together." ”

After eating a bowl of noodles, they went back to the house to rest, took a beautiful bath, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

Of course, before going to bed, I did some exercise, so that I woke up at three o'clock the next day, and Poria came in with a red face and said, "Princess Jun, the head of the Wu family has come to visit, and I have been waiting for a cup of tea." ”

Zhiwan looked at the sun outside the window, his face was crimson, but he complained in his heart that people came early, but he still got up and asked, "Where is the master?" ”

Poria was helping Zhiwan bring her clothes over, and after hearing this, she said, "The prince of the county went out early in the morning, saying who he was going to visit, but I don't know who had such a big shelf and asked the prince of the county to visit him." ”

Zhiwan was wearing shoes, listened to Poria's words, raised her eyebrows, remembered, last night he said that he was going to visit an adult tomorrow, and she still wanted to go with him, but she heard that she was going to climb the mountain, Zhiwan dispelled the idea, and she was also very curious about who needed Ye Guiyue to visit.

Dressed up, I didn't care about eating, Zhiwan went to the main house of the small courtyard, Su Xiangxing was a little anxious to wait, although the batch of golden silk nanmu was handed over to him to talk, but it was not for him to call the shots, the prince of the county went out again, I don't know if Zhiwan can call the shots?

Seeing Zhiwan coming in, Su Xiangxing introduced to the head of the Wu family, and the head of the Wu family saw that Zhiwan was dressed plainly, so he didn't think that she was the princess of the county at all, and when he saw Su Xiangxing standing up, he hurriedly got up, "I've seen the princess of the county." ”

Zhiwan smiled and nodded, "Master Wu doesn't have to be polite, today you and I are both businessmen, talking about business, don't treat me as the princess of the county, just an ordinary merchant." ”

The head of the Wu family raised his eyebrows when he heard this, Shinong businessmen, businessmen and merchants have a low status, many princes and ministers saw him, although their faces were polite, but their eyes were full of disdain, but the princess of the county was very respectful, and she regarded herself as a merchant, but she had a little bit of belittling herself.

Waiting for Zhiwan to sit down, Su Xiangxing and the head of the Wu family sat down, Su Xiangxing briefly talked about what Zhiwan talked about before he came, basically the head of the Wu family couldn't eat so much golden silk nanmu, and asked half of it.

Zhiwan sipped tea, through the thick tea, the expression of the head of the Wu family was very clear, Zhiwan put down the teacup, and said with a smile, "The weather has been hot recently, I heard that there are many places where there is no rain, but I am afraid that it will be another drought year, the Wu family is a grain family, and has accumulated a lot of grain, natural disasters*, but it is a good time for the Wu family's business." ”

Zhiwan said that the cloud was light and light, but the forehead of the head of the Wu family was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, and he said busily, "Although the Wu family is a big grain household, it is not like the black-hearted businessman, who raises prices and oppresses the people. ”
