Chapter 148: I Have No Power?
Tong Qi predicted that there would be results in only half a day, but in fact, not long after Huo Rong left his job, Tan Shao sent someone to inform him.
It turned out that the Huang family's father and daughter were panicked after returning to the self-defense center, and after accusing and complaining to each other, they went to Tan Shao and took the initiative to confess last night's incident.
Needless to say, the two concubines of the Su family and Su Peirong are all crying wolves, on the side of the Xu family, Mrs. Xu stood in the door and listened to the report of the next person, and finally remembered the feelings of the same people at that time, and still went to the Su family to sit for a while.
Pang Zi just cried and scolded Shen Changying, and then cried and asked Mrs. Xu to help intercede.
Mrs. Xu listened to a few words, and took advantage of the maid's arrival to report to the doctor to change Xu Lan's medicine, and got up to say goodbye.
When Huo Rong received Liu Wei's initiative to confess to the mastermind of the theft case, he was discussing with Tan Shao in Lingyuan's official room the punishment of the Su and Huang families, as well as the aftermath of the incident, Huang Ji finished speaking, and the three people in the room began to look at each other.
asked Changying to take five hundred people to the dock, Huo Rong originally thought that she was going to be rude with Liu Wei directly and force him to confess the news with Su Xinrong, but she didn't expect that she would force Liu Wei to confess the crime without making a sound!
The mastermind of the ship material case was Liu Wei, and his attitude at that time was that no matter who the Cao Yun Division handed over, it didn't matter to Nan Kangwei, anyway, their goal had been achieved.
Now that Qian Yun is about to come, Liu Wei took the initiative to confess before them, so for Cao Yunsi, it is equivalent to a defection, and Peng Xie has no choice but to jump this time?
The three of them were all masters whose brains were spinning faster than a spinning top, looked at each other, got up almost at the same time, picked up the horsewhip and went out!
The red glow on the riverside was all over the sky, the torches on the dock had been lit up in the twilight, the crowd had surrounded the three layers inside and three layers outside, and the officials of the Caoyun Division and the Nankang guards led by Shen Changying were divided into the east and west camps, and Liu Wei bowed down and stood in the crowd, like a mourner.
Wu Lin behind him for the rest of his life, but he couldn't give a happy look, he received the news that Qian Yun and Liu Shuo were already on their way back to Huzhou, and the people were about to arrive, and he was already ready to come out helplessly to make a scapegoat.
But who would have thought that Liu Wei would come out and take the initiative to confess?
As subtle as him, there are also the small officials around him, Nan Kangwei is not easy to fool, if Wu Lin falls, the people around him will naturally have to be unlucky.
In these years, even if he is a little errand at the dock, it is enough to support his family, who is willing to accompany Wu Lin to be the head of this wrong? With this turning point, I was naturally excited and nervous.
The rest of the people are naturally mostly watching the fire from the other side, that is, there are one or two who are friends with Liu Wei, this time Shen Changying is surrounded here with soldiers and horses, or Liu Wei himself has brought out the crime, they don't know how to protect themselves and keep their mouths shut, are they still rushing over to get fishy?
When Huo Rong and the three of them arrived at the dock, Chang Ying was carrying a sword and looked coldly at the person in front of her, who was leading many soldiers, she looked lightweight and calm.
Ling Yuan dismounted, and all the people on the dock bowed down.
After looking around, his gaze fell on the top of Changying's head, and finally stared at Liu Wei.
Liu Wei only felt a tremble on his body, raised his head, and met his cold gaze, and couldn't help but tremble a few times.
"Take it to the errand room and lock it up!" Ling Yuan looked away.
"Lord Yanagi is here! Money-sama is here! ”
The crowd was about to disperse when there was a sudden deafening shout from outside the crowd.
Changying looked up, and sure enough, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance came, and the leading two horsemen did not stop until they rushed to the periphery of the crowd.
The two people in official uniforms walked quickly with black yarns, and when they came to the front, they panted and bowed down to Ling Yuan: "Liu Shuo, the governor of Caoyun's mansion, punish Qian Yun, see Lord Hou!" ”
Ling Yuan asked directly: "The ten-day deadline has arrived, what do you have to explain to Nan Kangwei?" ”
Liu Shuo's gaze circled around Liu Wei twice, barely evening out his breath, and then turned his head to look at Qian Yun.
After they agreed with Fan Xin that day, they made the decision to sacrifice Wu Li on the spot to make the matter a big deal, but as soon as they entered Huzhou, they received the news that Liu Wei surrendered!
This means that all the previous plans have been disrupted, Liu Wei has recruited everything, the rhetoric they had thought of before, and the preparations they had made for the aftermath, all of them are useless.
What else can be explained now?
But they didn't poke it out, and it wasn't bad in their hands, so there's really no need to be afraid.
Liu Shuo then arched his hand and said, "Liu Wei has taken the initiative to admit his guilt, so the lower official will send someone to Huai'an to ask Lord Fan!" ”
"Excuse me?" Ling Yuan stared, "It takes three or four days to go to Huai'an each way, do you mean that I, the Qincha, have to wait here for another ten days to hear back from your Lord Fan?"
"Without his reply, I, the messenger who came by order, can't even get a little prisoner who voluntarily surrenders?"
"Master Hou forgives the sin, the lower officials have no such intentions! It's just-" Liu Shuo looked up at the top of his eyes, and immediately his heart sank, and he dispersed all his intentions: "Liu is here, but it depends on the Hou Ye!" ……”
After Ling Yuan left, everyone began to fall apart, and although the head of the Yingfeng waited for the result they wanted, his mood also fluctuated.
How many times have they seen characters like Wu Ninghou up close? I didn't expect it to alarm him, not to mention that Liu Wei actually poked out such a big basket behind his back!
Seeing Liu Shuo and Qian Yun like this, even if they didn't know the inside story, they could see that something was wrong, and they didn't even dare to raise their eyes now.
When the movement in front of him was small, and seeing that Changying was still there, he trembled and got up and came forward: "Dare, dare to ask the general, can our ship be loaded offshore?" ”
Changying glanced down the river and waved them away.
With the arrival of Ling Yuan and Liu Shuo successively, there was also a commotion on both sides of the Cao Yun Division and the dock.
Liu Wei was imprisoned by Nan Kangwei's generals and leaders, and so far the theft case ended from the hands of Nan Kangwei's superintendent of the department, and then Ling Yuan, the Qin messenger, directly entered the palace, and then the emperor assigned the three divisions to finalize the case.
The case is not big or small, but based on the court situation, there is a lot to be done, but this is a later story, so I will not mention it for the time being.
Changying stayed with Ling Yuan and them until midnight, and when they took Liu Wei back to the official room to look for the book, the group also took advantage of the situation to visit the Cao Yun Division.
In the government office, which is not set foot by outsiders on weekdays, there are merchants in silk clothes in almost every office, and it can be seen that the river is so rich in oil and water that even the sentinels in the gatehouse have become enshrined bodhisattvas in recent years.
After coming out, Changying and Tan Shuyin ate some food to cushion their stomachs, and then went back to the house first on Tan Shao's orders.
Speaking of the embarrassment of the officials of the Caoyun Division before, their eyebrows fluttered on the road, just like every time they came back from a successful errand in the past.
Changying was also laughing, but she was still a little absent-minded and didn't mess with them.
