Chapter 291: Father-in-law's Intercession
As soon as the court meeting dispersed, Yuan Bin, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, took office for the first time and took out thunderous means. In less than half a day, Wang Bin's charges were brought out.
Embezzlement, collusion with party henchmen, framing ministers, provoking princes, etc., are listed as the top 10 crimes. Zhu Di didn't even look at it, with a stroke of the pen, he sentenced him to a decisive decision, and raided his house, the male was assigned to the slave and the slave was sent to the division, and the female was assigned to the teaching department.
Wang Bin's family is completely finished.
As for Yang Dao and Tong Manzhi, they were locked up in the edict prison, and Zhu Di couldn't make up his mind for a while.
When Chen Yuan returned home, it was his father-in-law Dong Hai, his eldest brother Dong Mingchang, and his brother-in-law Dong Mingquan who came to pick up the wind and wash the dust.
"Dad, I just said, brother-in-law must be fine, what are you worried about." Dong Mingquan pouted.
"Bastard boy, do you still have a conscience, you see, how much weight my son-in-law has lost, you won't arrange it well, your son-in-law's house has not been cleaned well, why don't you arrange it quickly, get some supplements, make up for him, let your sister see it, and don't clean you up."
Dong Mingquan stretched his voice: "Got it." While burying his head in the arrangement, he muttered in a low voice, "Tsk, you are good to your brother-in-law, and you have never been so good to my own son." β
"What are you yelling about, next month is the wedding date, and if you don't do something down-to-earth, you will complain one day. Your father and I suffered a lot back then, and it was only a few days, and now you young people, a little bitterness, muttered, hey, son-in-law, I'm not talking about you, saying that my family is a bastard, the second child, what are you rubbing? Such a big person, I can't do a little thing, I will leave in the future, how can I rest assured of you. β
"Knowing Dad, don't worry, you will live a long life, and you can watch us slowly."
"Fart, I have to be angry with you, I don't want to live more."
"Ah, Dad, that's because you're angry and don't want to live."
"What? You rebelβ"
"Daddy, did you say it yourself?"
"Rebel, the more you grow up, the more disobedient you become, if you don't get angry with me for a day, you won't feel at ease, Lao Tzu will beat you to death-"
"Ahh
Chen Yuan and Dong Mingchang were dumbfounded, this Dong Ming's situation is becoming more and more alive. A little gentleman who used to cower is now not him if he doesn't tease for a day.
When the housekeeper Liang Fu saw Chen Yuan coming back, he cried with joy, and he was ashamed that he had messed up the house. Chen Yuan didn't blame them, of course the family didn't need the brother-in-law to arrange it, so he immediately arranged for someone to clean it, and asked the kitchen to prepare lunch, and ate together, the father-in-law and the brother-in-law went back, and wanted to take a good rest, and the father-in-law came to the door again.
Chen Yuan welcomed his father-in-law to the living room, let Liang Fu see the tea, sat down, twisted his beard and groaned for a while, and said straight to the point: "I came this time, I think you also know my intention, I have been friends with Yang Dongli for more than 20 years, although Dongli is a little conservative, but never use low means to deal with others, that is, in the court, Dongli insists on moving the capital, but still has been pleading for you, they want to move the capital, but also for the national economy and people's livelihood." Yang Dao's crime is unforgivable, just because it is about the son of a friend and a deceased, so I came to you with a thick face, not to mean to obstruct justice, let alone favor Yang Dao, I know what you are like, but as the saying goes, it is better to settle grievances than to settle them, and the gentleman is a virtuous man, and he is also a minister of the DPRK and China, can you open up to Yang Daowang? β
Chen Yuan thought of this month's imprisonment, and remembered that if it weren't for their civil strife, how could he still have his life, and hardened his heart: "Father-in-law, Yang Dao wants to target me, I know some of the reasons, if it weren't for the final revelation of heaven, it was me who died, then what should I do with my mother, and what about the unborn child?" If you want me to show him the virtue of a gentleman, but does he know what a gentleman is virtuous? β
Jian Yi couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and said softly sincerely: "Retreat, do you remember the meaning of the name I gave you?" You and the Yang family's grievances, don't talk about it today, the old man only thinks from your side, Yang Dao has a good life, not sophisticated, and suddenly you steal the limelight, it is inevitable that you will be resentful, have an abnormal mentality, and make immoral things to you, fortunately he did not cause you harm, you let him go. It is only good for you, and there is no harm in it. Yang Dao, I watched me grow up, and Dongli didn't deliberately target you, but maintained you everywhere, for the sake of me, I pleaded with you as a junior, and didn't let him send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, you sell this face, and it is always more convenient to be an official in the same dynasty in the future. The matter of moving the capital, people are already panicking, only to Shuntianfu, it is not a good thing, if you can repay the grievances with virtue, Dongli will be grateful. Yang Dao is just a scholar, even if he is at fault, he must have many old ministers who look at Dongli to intercede for him, Dongli is highly respected, and the emperor will never sentence his son to death, why don't you push the boat down the river, and be convenient with others and yourself? β
Jian Yi's words were reasonable, and Chen Yuan couldn't help but hesitate.
Killing a Yang Dao offended only Yang Shiqi, but it was nothing, but the prospective father-in-law and Yang Shiqi had a deep friendship, and killing Yang Dao made it difficult for the prospective father-in-law to face his friends, and Yang Shiqi can be regarded as the prime minister who can support the boat in his belly, his son is his son, he is him.
Chen Yuan hesitated for a long time, the face of his father-in-law was to be given, and he finally made up his mind, he took a deep breath and said, "Father-in-law, I want to talk to Yang Dao!" β
Seeing that there was room for maneuver in the matter, Jian Yi nodded happily and said, "Okay!" Retreat, you go to see him, this kid I know, cowardly character, I haven't learned a few skills, but his conscience is not clear, as long as you say it well, he must know how to repent. β
Chen Yuan nodded and immediately went to the Jinyi Guard's Imperial Prison. When he entered the cell, he saw Yang Dao lying on the ground of the cell, his clothes were disheveled, his hair was scattered, and his gray prison clothes were stained with blood. As soon as he saw him come in, Yang Dao immediately stared at him with frightened eyes.
Chen Yuan waved his hand and said, "You go out, close the door, I want to have a good talk with Yang Gongzi!" β
The two jailers withdrew and closed the door gently. Chen Yuan walked to the opposite side of Yang Dao, pulled a chair and sat down, stared at him for a long time, sighed and said, "Young Master Yang, you and I have never met, and I never thought that you have such a great grudge against me. β
Yang Dao stared at Chen Yuan deadly, climbed two steps, dragged blood marks on the ground, and sneered: "Yes, you and I have never met, but, Chen Yuan, I hate you very much, because of you, I have become worthless in my father's mouth, and what my father usually praises has become you." Even, you already have a wife and concubine, why do you want to provoke Yi Xuan, why? I've liked her since I was a child, and the first time I saw her, I wanted to marry her, and I thought that as long as I proposed it to my father, with the relationship between the two families, we would be able to do it naturally. However, seeing Li Qi, he was talented, and he also fell in love with Yi Xuan at first sight, and I felt inferior. Yes, for him, I can bless Yi Xuan, but why are you Chen Yuan? It's just rhetoric, puffing out lips and tongues, deceiving Yi Xuan, deceiving Your Majesty, I don't accept it, I don't accept it to death. β
Chen Yuan shook his head with a wry smile, looking at his eyes, he knew that he didn't want to care, and Yang Dao would not be convinced.
Yang Dao raised his voice and shouted: "Chen Yuan, you traitor, you have ruined my father's reputation, you have harmed the country in the court, you have robbed Yi Xuan, you have harmed my future, I am a gifted jinshi, and now I have become a prisoner who is humiliated!" I'm not convinced, why are you? Why are you? β
Chen Yuan stood up and left the cell, Yang Dao, there is no cure, this grievance cannot be resolved now.
When he was about to go out, he suddenly saw a woman lying in the prison, this woman had blank eyes, but her appearance was unusually charming.
Jinyi Wei Prison, female prisoners are generally held alone, Chen Yuan has been a few days ago, I have never seen such a beautiful female prisoner, I said in my heart, is this Wang Bin's concubine? casually asked the jailer next to him: "Didn't Wang Bin's female family member be assigned to the Teaching Workshop Division?" How come there is another one here. β
"Lord Hui, because Tong Manzhi is guilty, he can't be punished because Wang Bin's family is implicated, and he is still to be convicted."
Chen Yuan nodded and walked to the cell door.
Tong Manzhi was severely punished, and she struggled to get up, and saw a man standing at the door of the cell, but she didn't recognize this person.
"You're Tong Manzhi?"
Tong Manzhi did not reply.
Chen Yuan said again: "I am Chen Yuan. β
Tong Manzhi was stunned and showed a bitter smile. He caused others to almost die, and finally made people worse, and others stood in front of him, but he became a prisoner.
"Lord Chen, although I am not worthy to ask you, I still ask you for one thing." Tong Manzhi struggled, pulling the wounds on her body, and kept shaking.
"Say it."
"Please speak to the Jinyi Guard, give me a good time, uh, this hellish torture, I-I've had enough."
Chen Yuan didn't speak, but he saw her will to die. Jin Yiwei's punishment is painful for men, let alone a woman.
Chen Yuan said to Yuan Bin who came in: "Brother Yuan, there is no need to torture Yang Dao and this woman, I will plead with the emperor and let them go." β
"What?" Yuan Bin was surprised.
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "Master Yang has been upright all his life, he defends me everywhere, I can't bear to let him lose his son in middle age, my father-in-law pleaded with me, I can't help but give me this face, measure him Yang Dao, and I can't deal with me, this matter, that's it, there is no need to add more killing." Since putting one is also put, putting two is also put, let's put both. β
Tong Manzhi showed an unbelievable expression, he, he actually pleaded for himself, but instead of gratitude, he mocked: "Woman's person, Chen Yuan, you can't do great things, sooner or later you will be killed by your woman's kindness." β
Chen Yuan didn't look at him: "Do big things, what big things do you want to do?" What's wrong with being able to be yourself with peace of mind and live a down-to-earth life? Why do you have to fight for others, hurt others, and finally hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose yourself 800, but regard this so-called struggle as a major event to make a name for yourself? β
Tong Manzhi was like a fish in her throat, speechless, and waited for her to come back to her senses. The man had long since left, and the jailer was no longer fierce, and she thought she was dreaming. Yes, it's a dream, I've experienced so much suffering since I was a child, how can I be a good person.
