Chapter 142: Unmoved
Chapter 146 is unmoved
If Li Yan hadn't known about the dirty things that Chen Zhengting might have done secretly, and listened to him speak of the truth like this at this time, I am afraid that he would really think that the middle-aged man in front of him was no more upright.
His sneering expression was obviously disdainful, but in Chen Zhengting's eyes, it was all ridicule and provocation.
He lived for thirty or forty years, when Wei Ye started from scratch and failed to compete with him, he was the leader, and the scenery was proud, the Chen family was almost the dominant family at that time, even if Wei Ye competed with him, he was respected a lot, few people showed disdain in front of him so blatantly, and even fewer people would provoke him like this.
The young man in front of him is not very old, but his tone is not small, and he makes a gesture of peace, but why is he?
That Du Qiya really didn't dare to speak, this highness had already told him to shut up, and he still spoke, wasn't he looking for death?
So he thought about it, and quietly kicked Chen Yuming, who was kneeling on the side, with his toes.
Chen Yuming raised his head to look at him, with a blank look in his eyes.
Du Qiya's face sank, this kid is really ignorant, right now his father and His Royal Highness the King of Qi are in a stalemate, just like he did before, he didn't know that the person standing opposite was the current King of Qi, if he said something unpleasant later, it would be even worse.
He gestured with his eyes like this, he really couldn't speak, but Chen Yuming didn't call King Qi a threat, and he blurted out quickly, even if he shouted His Royal Highness King Qi, Chen Zhengting, who has been on the scene for so many years, can he still not hear what it means?
This kid is so stupid and looks unreasonable, which makes him seem to have a headache.
Du Qiya looked down at him with a dark face, and after waiting for a while, he raised his head and threw a look in the direction of Li Yan, but his fingertips pointed to Chen Zhengting's side.
If you want to say that Chen Yuming is not smart, he is really not smart, but this brain's brain is also turning fast, and when he sees this situation, he seems to understand something.
But before he could speak, Chen Zhengting was already furious: "The kid is ignorant, in terms of age, I am also an elder, where did you get the rules for this posture?" I see that you are dressed in brocade clothes, and you are magnificent, I think you are also from everyone's background, how can you go out to walk, but you are so ignorant and fearless, even when you meet your elders, you are also so unruly, without any humble attitude, but talk to me about reason? ”
As he spoke, he sneered, as if replying to Li Yan's sneer and sarcasm: "Isn't what I'm talking about?" You were a friend of the Wei family, and you stood here to reason with me, so how did I listen to you? ”
Li Yan sighed: "Master Chen's shelf is big, and the reason is also big, but in this way, Master Chen is the most upright person, and he has always been a man who doesn't help his relatives, so naturally you don't recognize your relatives?" Then I want to ask, a few of us eat tea in your Chen family's teahouse, it cost silver, there is no shortage of you one or two, and there is no shortness of your Chen family to do business, the teahouse wine shop ushered in, people say anything, the mouth is long on me, what to say, it is naturally my freedom, it is true that I talked about the rights and wrongs of your Chen family today, but this Chen Sanye, hurt people, add up evil words, Master Chen, what is the truth? ”
As he spoke, he put his hands in front of his chest, and looked at Chen Zhengting for a long time: "He is not rude, his mouth is not clean, I beat him, he deserves it, why is he clamoring to escort us to the official?" I don't understand, your Chen family is in Huzhou, is this what you do? Your Chen family has a big business, it should have big rules, strict door style, Master Chen is upright, when he was in the capital in the past, he was also famous, is it possible that now he has returned to Huzhou to nest, and he doesn't know how to teach and restrain his nephews? ”
Li Yan threw out such a big car of words, and pierced Chen Zhengting's chest word by word, and every word had to be finished with blood.
Of course, Chen Zhengting didn't listen to it, and he didn't feel good in his heart.
Among the three sons, the most uncompetitive and useless is this youngest son, in the past, he was messing around, and most of them were too lazy to care.
In this way, Du Qiya also said in the past that he didn't take it seriously, he didn't take it to heart, he just thought that since he let go of his hand, he simply put it away, and he didn't restrain him when he was young, but now that he has grown up, he disciplined him like this, and the child didn't listen, which is also normal.
But
Chen Zhengting's eyes changed: "I said that you don't know who the ignorant boy is, what I said before, you don't seem to have listened to a word, such words, you still have to say these words to me?" How about the children and nephews in the family, it is my Chen family's business, you stand in the lobby of the Huzhou prefect's yamen, and you open your mouth to count how my Chen family's door is, is this what you should be in charge of as a junior? ”
Du Qiya's heart was beating when he heard this, this highness seemed to be deliberate
His heart sank.
Don't really come here on purpose to get in trouble, do you?
Bringing the Wei family together, it was for Sun Chang's business, and it was reasonable for him to deliberately come to trouble the Chen family.
But Chen Zhengting didn't know his identity yet, and he really said that he was red-eyed for a while, in the final analysis, it was still the most unfavorable to Chen Zhengting.
This Chen Yuming, kneeling there as if watching a play, is it none of his business?
Now that it has been said that the king of Qi still refuses to reveal his identity, Du Qiya is secretly frightened, just afraid that this is to lure Chen Zhengting to say something disrespectful
As soon as he turned around, he glared at Chen Yuming viciously.
Chen Yuming sneered, his eyes were very sharp, eagle-like, and he felt that his back was almost piercing.
He paused, and secretly cleared his throat again, and then raised his voice and called his father: "You really don't respect His Highness when you talk to His Royal Highness King Qi like this!" ”
Chen Yuming's voice fell, and Du Qiya immediately gasped.
This bastard thing!
Sure enough, Li Yan's face changed: "Governor Du, you are a clever person." ”
Du Qiya panicked, his knees together, his knees were weak again, and he almost knelt down.
Li Yan waved his hand to stop him: "Speaking out is also a dignified four-grade prefect, kneel down at every turn, or in the lobby of your prefect's yamen, it really doesn't look good, get up, you knelt, you did everything, so that I found out and came to ask for sin, is this me in the eyes, or not in the eyes?" ”
Du Qiya didn't kneel, let alone kneeling, but as soon as he raised his eyes, he secretly saw Li Yan's face, and was startled, so he hurriedly stood up straight.
He folded his hands and simply stepped aside, thought about it left and right, and now excused himself, King Qi may not be able to listen, but it is better to tell the truth, and he can still be honest.
Thinking of this, he must have thought in his heart: "Your Highness, you know that the Chen family and the Xiaguan family, after all, have an in-law relationship. This time, Chen Zhengting came to the prefect's yamen like this, I am afraid that he also heard about Chen Yuming's foolish things, but when he saw you, he saw Chen Yuming's face hurt like this, and he fell to the ground, plus the uncle of the Wei family was there again, so he made a mistake for a moment and said something that should not be said. There is a relative here, and the lower officials dare not see him being more and more disrespectful to you, which is why "
"Okay, let's talk about it, it's all your reasoning, and this king still investigates, but it seems that this king is unreasonable. You are for the love between relatives, what shall I pursue you? For the sake of your love and righteousness, do you still punish you? Li Yanhuan's hand on his chest hung back to his side, this time his identity was clear, and the words were spread out, he simply swept around, picked an official hat chair and sat over.
When he sat down, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Zhengting: "Master Chen, what are you saying now?" ”
Chen Zhengting was completely stunned.
Huzhou City is not big, it is not small, the wealth is not as good as the two Zhejiang generations, but it is also a place where the people live in peace, in fact, the people here have not seen much of the world, because there are few big people to their Huzhou to take a walk.
Over the years, the imperial court has sent Qincha to inspect various places, and in the past ten years, it has been very good to be able to send one or two years to Huzhou.
How could he have imagined that Li Yan, the king of Qi, was in Huzhou, with Wei Ziqi
He only went to see Wei Luan at this time, and immediately understood that this was the second girl of the Wei family.
Chen Zhengting began to think carefully about his words, what was disrespectful to Li Yan.
He understands now, the youngest son's reminder is actually what Du Qiya meant, and Li Yan waved his hand several times before, deliberately interrupting Du Qiya's words, and it was His Royal Highness the King of Qi who did not ask him to say it, and deliberately did not allow himself to know his true identity.
Chen Zhengting twisted his eyebrows, did he come to Huzhou to support the Sun family?
Now go to make amends and ask for forgiveness, the more entanglement you get, the more I am afraid that the more I ask King Qi to take the handle, in the end, it will not benefit him and the Chen family at all.
In Sun Chang's case, he has suffered a lot of losses, and he is already very troubled, Du Qiya has shirked the blame several times, and he has not broken the case until now, if he suffers another loss in front of King Qi, wouldn't the Chen family be wronged and died?
He is a businessman, he has never done a loss-making business, this trip lost the life of his eldest son, if he can't bite off the Sun family with a belt of flesh, so that their family will either die or be injured, then what is it? Isn't this a slap in the face of the Chen family? In Huzhou in the future, what will their family take to gain a foothold?
The people in Huzhou City, in the past few months, after tea and dinner, have been very much to talk about this case, outside the rumors, say anything, although the Chen family's business has not been greatly affected, but the impact is still there, last month Qingzhou only withdrew two tea business, to put it mildly, I feel that what is unlucky, just opened the spring to start trading, there is a murder case in the family, the government has been pressing, this is really unlucky.
Chen Zhengting knows very well in his heart, most people who do business believe this, this is because he is afraid that Yuqing's ghost will not go away, and he will not leave around the house when the time comes, then in the final analysis, it is the Yin virtue of the Chen family, of course people are not willing to have business dealings with the Chen family at this time, for fear that they will be burdened and their business will not go well for a whole year.
For most of the next half month, there were more people who wanted to return tea lists everywhere, and those who came and went, not to mention more than 100,000 taels of silver.
Now he is forcing Du Qiya to close the case as soon as possible, if it can be closed early, these losses can be barely recovered, but if he still blindly delays like this, the losses will only get bigger and bigger.
Now that he saw the King of Qi, he didn't want to ask the King of Qi to pursue these anymore, for fear that there would be extraneous branches, and the case would have to be delayed again and again.
Chen Zhengting's heart moved slightly, and he actually lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt down straight in the direction of Li Yan.
Li Yan didn't feel surprised, but Wei Ziqi was surprised.
Although Chen Zhengting is a businessman, he is also a businessman with backbone, in the years in the capital, in the face of the powerful, there are few times to bend over, this is actually better than his father, at least not as sleek as his father, so long-sleeved and good at dancing.
But today, he knelt down like this in front of Li Yan
Wei Ziqi frowned, and subconsciously leaned towards Li Yan's side.
Li Yan put away the banter on his face: "Master Chen, what kind of elders and juniors are you talking about with this king just now, now this kneeling, can this king stand it, or can't stand it?" ”
This is deliberately difficult, Chen Zhengting didn't hear it, but he could only take the words stubbornly: "Your Highness is extremely noble, don't say that the grass people kneel, even if they bow three times and bow nine times, Your Highness can't stand it." ”
As he spoke, he actually bowed to the ground and bowed down.
This bow, the worship is very long, and when the salute is finished, he straightens up again, and his eyes are a little moist and red: "Your Highness came to Huzhou this time, the grass people probably know what you are here for, the grass people kneel, and apologize to Your Highness for your previous ignorance and arrogance, please have a lot, read that the grass people don't know, don't care about the grass people." Chen Zhengting's voice was choked, and then he bowed again.
It's just that after this bow, he didn't stand up straight, just lay on the ground like that, and his voice was also muffled: "Caomin has a son, who was killed by Sun Chang a month ago, and there are all human and material evidence, but the prefect's yamen detained this case, and now months have passed, and the case has still not been closed." Your Royal Highness, you are His Royal Highness the King of Qi of Daliang, the grass people ask you to be the master of the grass people, and give justice to the hard-working son of the grass people! ”
What is this?
To say that he is the first to sue the wicked, in fact, it is not counted, after all, Chen Yuqing is dead, and he died at the hands of Sun Chang, these are all facts.
Chen Zhengting is actually very smart, he wouldn't have thought that when Li Yan arrived in Huzhou, he must have known the reasons for the case, and the ins and outs of the case were all clear, but Chen Yuqing's robbery of the people's daughters was disgraceful in the end, so he simply didn't mention it, he didn't even mention it, and he said it softly and pitifully, this gesture is so low, it is really difficult for people to pity him as a father.
However, Li Yan was unmoved: "Then what do you mean, the Du prefect does not seek his own government in his position, and the four-grade prefect of the imperial court, such a simple case, but it has been delayed again and again, right?" ”
