Chapter 252: Framing the Imperial Court
Zhou Bingyi had something on his mind, and hastily had dinner with Jiang Yifan, and the two moved to the study. After a few words of gossip, Zhou Bingyi talked about Liang Qiyuan's case.
For Jiang Yifan, who did everything well, Zhou Bingyi no longer wasted time going around in circles, he said to Jiang Yifan: "The cause of this case is that Liang Qiyuan, a stupid person, has made such a fuss because of a little personal grievance. If this case is not handled well, not only will it be difficult to protect the lives of the Liang family, but even the officials will be unable to get rid of it. Alas, this is really a disaster. ”
Zhou Bingyi sighed fiercely and said to Jiang Yifan: "Lord Jiang will interrogate Liang Qiyuan again, although the case has been heard clearly and the testimony of the witnesses is all clear, it is better to ask Lord Jiang to give him another chance to plead, even if there is still no turnaround in the report, it is better than nothing." "As for how to report it, it's not something that can be discussed now, and we'll talk about it later.
Jiang Yifan hurriedly responded: "Your Excellency doesn't need to say so, the arraignment of the suspect is a matter within the Yamen's responsibility, but Uncle Liang refused to speak before, and the lower official was hindered by his ......special status, so it was the fault of the lower official." ”
When he mentioned this again, Zhou Bingyi was full of depression again, but he still cheered up and said: "It's all because the official's wife and uncle are stupid, because of a common civil entanglement among the people, and finally made such a big case of rebellion." Zhou Bingyi didn't say anything in his mouth, but there was still some resentment in his tone.
Jiang Yifan didn't answer at first, muttered for a while, stood up, took out an unsealed letter in a box on the bottom shelf, handed it to Zhou Bingyi, and said lightly: "It's not that the lower officials want to make the case like this, but Uncle Liang's original intention is not to follow the civil entanglement, and Uncle Liang's pattern is too big." ”
Zhou Bingyi was a little suspicious, but more worried, worried about whether his brother-in-law would do something terrible.
opened the letter and read it, so angry that Zhou Bingyi almost scolded his mother, Liang Qiyuan, this idiot, this is for fear that he will not be dragged into the bureau, so he specially saved a physical evidence for him!
This letter was written to Zhou Bingyi, and the content of the letter was like what Liang Qiyuan said to Liu when he was full of ambition, telling him about his brother-in-law who was an official. He set up an overall situation, which is bound to pull Jiang Yifan off the horse. When the time comes, the brother-in-law can use this matter to investigate Jiang Yifan and use it to curry favor with the forces in the capital. The words in the letter can easily see the tone of the invitation.
Zhou Bingyi's hands trembled with anger, and he slapped the letter on the case with one palm, "This idiot, he is framing the court officials!" "Another crime, and it involved him.
Jiang Yifan picked up the teacup at the right time, lowered his head and sipped, and said nothing about it.
Zhou Bingyi pinched his eyebrows hard, and said in an apologetic tone: "Shicai is the official's inappropriate words, please Jiang Daren Haihan." Lord Jiang did not deliver this letter to the court, he had already released Liang Qiyuan, and the official thanked him here. Alas, it is the official's fault that the official has not strictly controlled such a wife and uncle. ”
He had long seen that Liang Qiyuan had been proud of his scenery in the past few years, but he didn't take it to heart, he just thought it was human nature. Who would have thought that he would be so proud that he would plot to frame the court officials in white clothes. Not only was he framed, but what was even more stupid was that he could write this kind of thing into a letter and plan to hand it out.
Jiang Yifan didn't say too much, and only said: "It's good that adults can understand the hardships of the lower officials." ”
Zhou Bingyi didn't care about Jiang Yifan's attitude, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What does Master Jiang plan to do with this letter?" ”
Jiang Yifan raised his eyes from the teacup and looked at Zhou Bingyi, "Xia Guan didn't plan to show this letter, but since the adults have seen it, then the adults will take it and dispose of it." In the opinion of the following officer, a letter that has not yet been sent is best when it does not exist. ”
Zhou Bingyi thanked Jiang Yifan and said, "Lord Jiang is benevolent, and the official has thanked Lord Jiang for his kindness." ”
Although this case was obviously done by Jiang Yifan, the person who started the layout was Liang Qiyuan, and he just followed his layout. No matter what the reason is, if Jiang Yifan didn't do things absolutely, he also has to thank Jiang Yifan's subordinates for their mercy.
Next, he had to see Qi Ye, first compensate the head of the Qi family and Qi Ye, and get the understanding of the Qi family, and then he had the opportunity to talk to Prince Yu.
Zhou Bingyi put away the letter, changed the topic, and said: "The climate is very good this year, and the harvest of the entire Yuyuan County is good. This official plans to go to Qinghe Village tomorrow to see the harvest of Qinghe Village and the surrounding villages, and then to visit the Qi family in Qinghe Village, and to accompany my wife and uncle who are guilty of sin. ”
"I will follow the instructions of my lord," Jiang Yifan responded, "My Majesty will arrange it early tomorrow morning and accompany my lord to go with him." ”
Early the next morning, Jiang Yifan and Zhou Bingyi wore regular clothes, took several of their subordinates and their little servants to ride to Qinghe Village.
At this time, the autumn harvest in each village has ended, and the grain laid down has been dried and returned to the warehouse, and even the straw in the field has almost been cleaned up.
The group made a general tour of the surrounding villages, and rushed to the second room of the Qi family in the north of Qinghe Village.
Zhou Bingyi has never been to Qinghe Village, let alone seen the extended wasteland of poor villages, and there are actually patches of buildings. Zhou Bingyi's eyes swept over and over again, this is the pickled place where Liang Qiyuan raised livestock?
Although he didn't agree with the contempt and disdain in Liang Qiyuan's mouth, and he had heard his second daughter talk about the cattle farm and cheese, he never expected to see this kind of scene. The large area of fenced sheds, where you can see a little bit of dirty pickling of livestock, is simply unimaginably neat.
Jiang Yifan explained on the side: "There is a place to raise dairy cows, and most of them are cows, which are used to obtain milk, which is what people here call cattle farms." The opposite piece is under construction, the dairy workshop, which is also Rong Liuye's industry, where the milk produced by the dairy farm will be processed and made into various dairy products. According to Qi Niangzi, after dairy products are formed, they can be used as high-end ingredients to supply merchants or wealthy families who make exquisite snacks and food. ”
Zhou Bingyi asked in a difficult tone: "These two industries are in charge of the Qi family?" "People with such skills, no wonder Jiang Yifan would say that His Royal Highness King Yu values it very much.
There were no people in the old courtyard of the Qi family, but the new courtyard next to it was noisy, and the sound of carriages and horses sounded. The two carriages outside the courtyard gate had been put in order, and it looked like someone was about to set off for a long journey.
Jiang Yifan and Zhou Bingyi dismounted outside the gate of Qi's house first, and the people behind jumped off the horse. Before they could enter, someone had already heard the sound coming out.
