Thirty-six, drag people into the water



Not for anything else, just for the future Hu Weiyong turned around after half a sentence and looked around at the house: &; Just for this golden tile on the wall. &>

&;Okay&;Haha, what Lord Hu said is good, as long as Lord Hu doesn't forget to take care of me more in the future, why worry about a little thing. &>

&;Oh? Can you save me? Hu Weiyong frowned: But now there is a Chu Liuyan, and the two of Xu Da are biting me to death, so in this way, if things get bigger, although I am a minister, I will inevitably be used by Zhu Yuanzhang to open the knife. &;After speaking, there seemed to be endless sentimental tears.

This matter is not difficult, but you seem to have found the wrong person, this matter should not be found in me, in my brother Li Shanchang! &>

Hu Weiyong's face was embarrassed: &; Alas, I don't want to, it's just that your brother doesn't see me. &>

Is there such a thing? &;Li Cunyi's fingers tapped rhythmically on the coffee table, thinking about Li Shanchang in his heart: &;Yes, where is my brother going now? I'll see you soon, and I'll make sure you're okay. &>

So thank you father-in-law, your brother has gone to Hangzhou, if you want to find, you have to go to Hangzhou, there is work. &>

&;Where is it, you and I are a family, the family is polite, I will go to prepare quickly, and you should go back and rest early. After speaking, Li Cunyi waved his hand: &; Housekeeper, send off guests. &>

As soon as Hu Weiyong left, Li Cunyi's face was not so good-looking. I first received 100,000 silver from Hu Weiyong, that is not a small number, 100,000 silver, Hu Weiyong has an accident, he will definitely not be able to run. And he made a note after drinking, and he couldn't escape the involvement at all. At present, Hu Weiyong is desperately courting himself, but it is not a shortcut for himself to be promoted quickly, through Hu Weiyong, he can quickly accumulate wealth and be promoted, and the so-called promotion and wealth are not wrong. But there must be a premise for this, the premise is that he has to ensure that Hu Weiyong does not die, Hu Weiyong does not die to ensure that he does not die, and he can only be promoted to become rich if he does not die, so now he has to go to Li Shanchang to let Hu Weiyong go, and the matter will pass if he is sloppy, who has to get along with money.

&;Prepare the horse, the sooner the better, I want to rush to Hangzhou. &>

At this time, a dark shadow was silently watching the two of them trade on the roof in the distance. There are two or three hundred meters away from what he said just now, and the words must not be heard clearly, but at least they will not startle the snake, and when they saw Hu Weiyong leaving, the person quickly disappeared into the night.

Li Cunyi soon arrived in Hangzhou, Li Shanchang had taken over everything, and returned to Hangzhou with the important culprit Hu Zhengken to officially prepare for the trial. Hearing that his brother was coming to see him, Li Shanchang knew that there must be something important in him, so he hurried to see him.

Seeing Li Cunyi, Li Shanchang hurriedly greeted him: &; Oh, brother, why did you come to me? &>

&;Why is my brother so worried when he meets, is it possible that I know what I mean? &>

Li Shanchang asked him to sit down, sent someone to watch the tea, and then dismissed all the subordinates.

Why is my brother so careful? &>

&;You! Alas! If you come here for nothing, you must be here for Hu Weiyong's business, right? &>

Li Cunyi immediately laughed when he heard this: &; How can my brother pinch me recently, it's really a strange thing, how do you know I'm coming? &>

How do I know you're coming, you fool! &>

What do you mean by that? &>

&;What kind of person is Hu Weiyong, with a good face and an evil heart, you don't know it. He came to me the other day and wanted me to accommodate the case. But do you know that Chu Liuyan and Xu Da are involved in this case, if there is a mistake, don't say that he is Hu Weiyong, even I will lose my head. He came to you, but he did you a real harm, you are so confused! &;After that, he put on a sad look, and he couldn't wait to hammer his chest.

&;Brother, others are afraid of things, why are you afraid of things? If Hu Weiyong really committed some heinous crime, others can't save it, and it is estimated that only you can save it in the world. &>

This matter must not be done, it is related to the reputation of my Li family, and I will not tolerate it. If something really happens to me, how can I explain to my Li family ancestors and ancestors! &;After saying that, he stood up, then turned around and made a blank look.

&;Brother has to watch his brother go to the guillotine and ignore it? &>

As soon as these words came out, Li Shanchang suddenly turned around: &; How much silver did you take from him? Tell me, let's pay him back quickly. &>

&;Silver, 100,000 taels. &;Li Cunyi specially accentuated his tone when he spoke.

&;Ahh &; Li Shanchang could barely sit still, and Hu Weiyong had to change the money he gave him to Li Cunyi last time.

&;How much did you spend? &>

&;More than half. &>

Although it is a little much, but with the strong strength of my Li family for many years, I still don't care about these small money. &;Li Shanchang is determined to make a clear line with Hu Weiyong.

&; Brother! That's not the thing. I accepted this silver after drinking, and Hu Weiyong also tricked me into setting up a note, and now it is not just a matter of silver. &>

&; Alas! You're so confused! &;Li Shanchang was almost mad by Li Cunyi:&;This Hu Weiyong gave such a big gift, and used such a means, I dare to assert that the 2.5 million taels of silver must have been taken by him, and the previous 5 million taels must have been his hand. He knew that he would not be able to protect himself, so he dragged you into the water, how could you be fooled? You, fool! &>

&;Brother, now this matter has reached the point of inevitability, if something happens to Hu Weiyong, the brother will definitely be difficult to protect. My brother has been an official for many years, and if there is no evidence in this investigation, it will be difficult to find out anything. As long as we secretly help Hu Weiyong, this case will pass after a long time, anyway, now it is not said that Hu Weiyong committed the case, are you right? &>

&;Chu Liuyan and Xu Da are also investigating the case, I'm afraid that they will find the evidence first, if it is directly handed over to Zhu Yuanzhang, there is still room for redemption, if these two people go crazy and have to make it clear, it is estimated that even Zhu Yuanzhang will not be able to save you. &>

&;Brother, didn't you get a Danshu iron coupon for Zhu Yuanzhang's birth and death, that is a gold medal for avoiding death. Not only is he exempt from death, but he can also be exempted from all his crimes, why should he be afraid of a woman like Chu Liuyan? &>

How can Li Shanchang not know the magic of this brand, but everyone is selfish, and it is best to stay and protect himself without having to do it, and it is still a little reluctant to take it out. But thinking that Li Cunyi was his brother, he began to hesitate.

&;Brothers are like siblings, why don't you read this brotherhood? The elder brother didn't save him when he saw death, and he didn't hear that the ancients were born from the same root. &>

Li Shanchang was finally moved: Okay, if something happens, I'll take it out to save you. &>

After the two discussed, Li Shanchang started the trial of Hu Zhengken the next day.

Hu Zhengken was taken to the court, and Li Shanchang opened his mouth and asked: &; Who is kneeling? &>

This Hu Zhengken is now yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and the pain of imprisonment has made him suffer a lot from his original pampering. But his tongue is not there, and his mouth cannot speak.

&; Bold! Someone came, slap his mouth thirty, and tell him not to speak! &>

Hu Zhengken didn't expect that Li Shanchang suddenly changed his hexagram, and he suddenly panicked, and finally wanted to explain all the facts clearly, but it was too late, he was twisted his head, and the beat was his mouth.

Thirty strokes, a full thirty strokes, Hu Zhengken's body was already weak, and now he couldn't support it anymore and collapsed.

My lord, the prisoner has fainted. &>

&;Hmph! Just pretend to be unconscious? Come on, splash him with cold water! &>

Soon Hu Zhengken was rescued, and Li Shanchang then asked: &; Hu Zhengken, why did the disaster relief food money be reduced by half before leaving Beijing? But what did you do? &>

Hu Zhengken hurriedly defended, but he could only speak out with grace, but he couldn't speak.

&;Since it's good, it's recognized, good, very good. &;Li Shanchang said again: &;Your uncle has killed his relatives in righteousness, and he has seized all the five million taels you harbored and dedicated them to the imperial court, which can be described as a great achievement. It's a pity that the Hu family has a scum like you, if they are all like Hu Chenxiang, how good it would be. &>

Hu Zhengken still wanted to speak, because this was completely different from what he had said to him before, and it was not in this tone at all.

&;It seems that if you don't torture you, you are dead and unrepentant, come and beat you with thirty sticks! From Hu Zhengken, Li Shanchang didn't want to know anything, and went down with thirty sticks, don't say that Hu Zhengken is such a straw bag, even if a capable person does not die, he will have to withdraw his skin.

Sure enough, if Hu Zhengken was not allowed to speak, Li Shanchang would directly hit him with these 30 sticks, and Hu Zhengken could no longer move.

&;Back to my lord, I died. &>

&;Well, draw a charge. &>

Several officials directly took the confession that had been designed at the beginning and detained him, and Li Shanchang's explanation was that Hu Zhengken refused to confess and died because the punishment was too heavy.

&;Herald! Hu Zhengken was beheaded all over the house, and all the property obtained was confiscated. &;Li Shanchang directly prepared to give Hu Zhengken a son and grandson to avenge Hu Weiyong's plot against his brother.

Hu Zhengken's house was sold, and all the money added up was much more than 2.5 million taels, plus Li Shanchang was not greedy or hidden, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally very happy when this money went up.

Chu Liuyan followed Li Cunyi all the way to Hangzhou, but he never saw his movement. Xiaoxiao gave him information before that Hu Weiyong secretly had a private meeting with Li Cunyi, and then Li Cunyi went directly to Li Shanchang, which made Chu Liuyan very suspicious. Sure enough, when the case came down this time, Chu Liuyan knew that there must be something greasy in it. Hu Zhengken died like this, and Hu Weiyong would naturally be innocent. Chu Liuyan guessed that Hu Weiyong's embezzlement of silver was the mastermind, and Liu Bowen's death was also related to him, but now that Hu Weiyong is not guilty, how can she stop there.

In order to investigate clearly, Chu Liuyan and Xu Da had already ambushed halfway, preparing to catch Li Cunyi, who had returned to Beijing.

Chu Liuyan and Xu Da have been in ambush in this grass for a long time, but they have never seen a single figure.

Brother Xu, is your news reliable? Will Li Cunyi not be ready to return to the capital, or will he not take this road at all? &>

&;Sister, I assure you, Li Cunyi must be here and wait quietly for a while. &>

&;It's a pity that there are no big trees around, otherwise it would be much more comfortable in the trees than here. Chu Liuyan had to complain casually, and his body in the grass was lower.

At this moment, the sound of a carriage suddenly came, and the axle turned and made an obvious sound, which suddenly made the two of them fall deeper. Chu Liuyan and Xu Da had already had a tacit understanding, and they didn't need to speak at all, Xu Da covered his face and rushed out in an instant.

Seeing Xu Da flying out like a goshawk, Chu Liuyan was still motionless with a few plum blossom darts in his hand.

&; Who?! &;Li Cunyi brought a lot of his subordinates this time, and he found Xu Da who rushed over, and immediately surrounded the carriage like an iron bucket.

&; There are assassins! Hurry up and protect the adults! &>

Xu Da ran halfway, and suddenly stood on the road and stopped running, he just stood there stupidly, motionless.

What's going on? Li Cunyi asked his entourage.

&;My lord, there is a person in front of me standing in the way, I don't know if it's an assassin or a bandit. The people who came were masked, not knowing what to do. &>

&;Just one person, scared you out? What's the use of me raising you rice buckets! Give it to me, and the carriage will go away. &;Li Cunyi was holding back a fire in his heart, this would really be angry.

His subordinates immediately rushed out, but Xu Da still didn't move, staring at everyone deadly.

If you want to try not to hurt other people's lives, you have to ensure that you are safe and sound, and you have to be able to catch Li Cunyi, the difficulty can be imagined.

However, this will Li Cunyi's order gave Xu Da an opportunity to take advantage of, Xu Da immediately jumped a few times, and immediately crossed the crowd and chased the carriage. The guards hurriedly turned around to chase after them, Chu Liuyan's eyes were shining, and he suddenly straightened up, and as soon as he raised his hand, the four of them fell down in response.

&; Damn! There is an ambush! People screamed in horror, but Chu Liuyan shot a few people again, and soon those people fell down with weak knees again.

&;Get out of the way! &;Xu Da directly knocked all the people away, cut open the canopy with a sword, and lifted the stunned Li Cunyi out like a chicken.

&;Go! Chu Liuyan saw that Xu Da had succeeded, and hurriedly retreated.

Under the cover of Chu Liuyan, Xu Da successfully captured Li Cunyi.

&;Let go of me! Let me go! Do you know who I am? Li Cunyi was thrown on the side of the road, and when he saw two masked people, a man and a woman, he immediately yelled.

&;Hmph! What if you know? &;The man snorted coldly.

&;Since you know that I am an official of the imperial court, and openly holding me hostage, it is a rebellion! If you let me go now, I can let you go without blame. If not, if you are found out, you will be beheaded by the whole family, and even the nine clans will be punished. &>

&;As for you, I'm afraid you don't have that qualification yet. &;Xu Da tore off his face towel, and Li Cunyi suddenly changed his face: &;I didn't expect it to be you. &>

&;It's me, Li Cunyi, I'm here to invite you, do you say you have this qualification? &>

&;Yes, yes. &;Li Cunyi didn't have a rope on his body, so he stood up and saluted Xu Da: &;Wei Guogong has an invitation, no matter how much it is, I don't know why the two officials invited them to come? &>

&;What? What do you think? Xu Da's face was gloomy.

&;Why do you want to do this to me, I don't have a grudge against them. &>

&;Hmph! Someone saw Hu Weiyong arrive at your house that day, and you said, whether the two of them were colluding and plotting against you! &;Chu Liuyan is aggressive.

&;Hmph! I have never seen Hu Weiyong, who spews less blood. &;Li Cunyi and the two seemed to have no intention of doing it to themselves, and they decided to let it go on the spot: &;I don't admit it, do you have evidence? &>

&;Evidence?! &;Chu Liuyan realized that Xiaoxiao couldn't come out as a witness, so he could only take this matter by himself:&;I saw it with my own eyes, would there be a fake? &>

&;What did you see with your own eyes? Didn't say that it was someone else who saw it just now, how could Lord Chu also like to talk nonsense with his eyes open? &>

Chu Liuyan knew that it was difficult to talk, and it was not good to hurt him at will, so he had to give up.

&;What should Xu Dage do, this guy just doesn't say it, he is biting so hard, what should we do? &>

&;In this way, it's better to take him directly to the capital and repay the grievances with Zhu Yuanzhang in person. &>

Chu Liuyan nodded and said: "It's the only way, but now we lack evidence, even Li Cunyi doesn't necessarily know a lot of inside information." I think I can think of a way to turn things around. &>

Soon Li Cunyi was taken back to the capital by the two, and Chu Liuyan led his subordinates to launch a review of Li Cunyi. Li Cunyi couldn't resist and confessed that Li Shanchang colluded with Hu Weiyong and did not pursue it.

Chu Liuyan was overjoyed, he didn't expect this Li Cunyi to be so timid and afraid, so he immediately took Li Cunyi and Xu Da to see Zhu Yuanzhang together.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang was by his side.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth first: &; Lord Chu, you are so bold. &>

&;The courage is just thick, I don't know why the emperor said this? &>

&;Is there a way to say that he openly hijacked the officials of the imperial court? Private interrogator, what do you think of the people in the Criminal Department? &>

&;Your Majesty! This Li Shanchang colluded with Hu Weiyong, secretly helped and refused to investigate him, and the corruption must be Hu Weiyong's mastermind. &>

Xu Da nodded in agreement.

&;The bastard originally wanted to scold the bastard, but Zhu Yuanzhang took the words back in time: &;Lord Chu, do you have real evidence? &>

&;Your Majesty, the facts are in front of you, why do you need evidence? &>

&;Ridiculous, really ridiculous. The two of you are also important ministers of the court, but you don't want to serve the country, but you will only rebel. As the so-called upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, you take the lead, what will be the chaos at the bottom? I know that you have always been at odds with Hu Weiyong, and you think that Liu Bowen's death was done by Hu Weiyong. But what about the facts? Liu Bowen was proved to be drunk and fell to death, and Hu Weiyong did not have any motive to kill Liu Bowen, and you don't have any evidence, how can you say that Hu Weiyong is a murderer? &>

&;Your Majesty! &;Chu Liuyan was in a hurry.

Enough! I will order to kill Hu Weiyong now. Zhu Yuanzhang said.

It didn't take long for Chu Liuyan's face to soften slightly, and Zhu Yuanzhang's next sentence completely drove her crazy: &; Are you satisfied with this? But I won't do that, and don't talk about it again. &>

&;Li Cunyi worked hard and made great achievements, and he traveled thousands of miles to help his brother solve the case, I forgive you for your innocence, and reward you with 1,000 silver, go down. &>

&;Thank you, Emperor! &>

Li Shanchang punished the murderer meritoriously, and recovered more than 3 million dirty silver, 10,000 silver rewards, 300 silk horses, and a great merit. &>

&;Thank the emperor for his love. &>

Hu Weiyong is loyal and patriotic, his achievements are majestic, and there is no major fault, so he does not need to be punished. Liu Bowen I have already been sealed, and death is also the king, and it is not that I have treated him badly, this time it will end here, I don't want to dig deeper. &>

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words came out, it was a few families who were happy and a few who were sad, some people were happy, and some people were angry.

Naturally, it was Li Cunyi, Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong who were happy, and Chu Liuyan and Xu Da who were angry!
