Section 12: The law is unforgiving

Hurrying up, Xu Ping went straight to the lobby of the Fuzhou Patrol Mansion under the "support" of several school captains.

After three hours of jolting in the saddle, Xu Ping felt that the skin on his inner thighs was worn out, and Fuzhou City was finally in sight.

Kicking and dismounting, the two lieutenants carried the limping Xu Ping and walked up the stone steps into the lobby of the governor's yamen.

A group of civil and military officials such as political envoys, envoys, and admirals gathered in the lobby, Xu Ping stood in the hall in embarrassment, and found that Zhao Wenhua was also sitting on a chair, laughing and drinking tea with others leisurely, and unexpectedly Qiu Min was standing behind him, squinting at himself with a smile.

Damn, depending on the situation, this guy has already calculated, and this black pot is decided today.

Nie Bao sat in the main hall and glanced at Xu Ping, his eyes were cold and suffocating, "Xu Ping, let me ask you, you have not participated in this mine closure and ban from beginning to end?" ”

Xu Ping's heart trembled, and he lowered his head and arched his hand, "Lord Hui, yes!" After a pause, he said, "But Governor Zhao not only drained my hands, but also never called me once from beginning to end."

"I see."

"It seems that there is something else hidden in this matter." ……

There was a commotion in the crowd.

Nie Bao raised his eyes and swept Zhao Wenhua, "Lord Zhao, is what Xu Ping said true?" ”

"It's true." Zhao Wenhua got up and bent over, "However, the original intention of the subordinates is to be sympathetic to their subordinates, thinking that they are young and newcomers, and want to open up the situation for them, hehe, who expected that Lord Xu would admit the truth and completely stay out of the matter, ala......s, I also have suffering." ”

"Hehe, the steward who helped became the master, it's ridiculous, this Xu Ping's face is really big."

"Yes, others are polite to you, and you really become a shopkeeper." ……

Everyone turned their heads to each other and pointed at Xu Ping.

Zhu Bajie hit a rake, this guy throws the pot with amazing skills, and he cuts down the tree without picking a peach, it's really ruthless!

Xu Ping's forehead was bruised, staring at Zhao Wenhua, his eyes were bloodshot, "Bright!" Your acting skills make the actor feel ashamed, but the one who grabbed the credit has become a victim, I am so convinced. After a pause, he pointed at Qiu Min and turned to Nie to report: "My lord, Miss Qiu was forcibly borrowed by Zhao Wenhua from me, and she knows the ins and outs of this matter, so she might as well let her talk about it."

Nie Bao snorted coldly and ignored Xu Ping, turned to Zhao Wenhua, and asked, "Lord Zhao, who is this woman?"

"Back to my lord, Miss Qiu is the personal guard given to Xu Ping by the little pavilion guy, she is jealous and hateful, and she is very skilled."

Nie Bao nodded, "In this case, Miss Qiu's words should be credible, hehe, Miss Qiu might as well talk about it." ”

Qiu Min pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, raised his head and glanced at Xu Ping firmly, and said to Nie Bao with a fist: "My lord, what Governor Zhao said is true, at the beginning, I strongly persuaded Xu Ping to participate in the mining ban, guess what he said, hehe, what arms can't twist the thighs, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and doesn't care about the frost on the tiles of others." What's even more infuriating is that he took the opportunity of Governor Zhao's transfer to me, and actually asked Lord Zhao for five hundred taels of silver! This kind of person who only eats and drinks with his subordinates, is cowardly and incompetent, and it is really a shame for this girl to be with him. ”

Hum, everyone in the hall suddenly became chaotic, Xu Ping was dumbfounded, and his intuition was cold from the back of his neck to the soles of his feet.

Nie Bao looked up to the sky and shouted, slapped Tangmu for a long time, and stared at Xu Ping with squinted eyes, "Kneel, Xu Ping, what else do you have to say?" ”

Xu Ping's brain was blank, his limbs were numb and he almost wanted to fall to the ground, and Nie Bao asked several times without realizing it.

……………………

Looking at Xu Ping slumping to the ground, Zhao Wenhua felt indescribably relaxed in his heart, so dangerous! This level has finally passed.

Nie Bao and the envoy and the political envoy went to the back hall to discuss, and after a while, he turned around and slapped the hall hard, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have just discussed with the political envoy Li and the envoy Zhang, Cha Yanping and Xu Ping's mediocrity and incompetence, so that the illegal digging of silver mines under his rule is rampant, and it has provoked a popular uprising, and he is suspected of neglecting the government, so he immediately resigned from his official position and escorted the officials to the ministry for punishment. After a pause, his face turned to Zhao Wenhua slightly, "Lord Zhao, you see if this is appropriate, in addition, I will jointly play with Zhang and Li, explain the detailed reasons for the change of the civilians in Yanyan, and clear up the injustices of the adults." ”

Zhao Wenhua hurriedly bowed in thanks, and after sitting down, he always smacked Nie Bao's words, and then felt that someone was pulling his clothes, and he didn't come back to his senses, Qiu Min had already stuffed the note in his hand. He used the excuse to go to the toilet, and when he went to a no-man's land, he unfolded the note and looked at it, which read: The city gate is on fire, and the fish in the pond are affected. It's the master's handwriting, what does he mean? Zhao Wenhua was stunned for a moment.......

Turning around and sitting down, Zhao Wenhua was a little distracted, his trick could be concealed from ordinary people, but it was difficult to escape the eyes of Yan Shifan and Xu Jie, and when he mentioned Xu Jie, he felt a sudden burst in his heart, the old man looked harmless and amiable, but he turned his face and made up people, and his hands ......were black, even if Yan Songquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, for himself would he turn his face with Xu Jie? In addition, I heard that Yan Shifan and Xu have another relationship...... Recalling Yan Shifan's cold smile, Zhao Wenhua only felt a cool breeze on his neck.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Zhao Wenhua was like sitting on pins and needles, and finally couldn't break down, got up and bent over and said: "Lord Zhangtai, the lower officials have a word like a fish in their throat and don't vomit unpleasantly, I don't know if I should talk about it?"

"Oh? That being the case, Lord Zhao, please speak. ”

"Next...... The subordinate officials asked the lord to take back the order and give Xu Ping a chance to atone for his sins. ”

"Hehe, I heard me right, Lord Zhao interceded for Xu Ping? High wind and bright festival, repay grievances with virtue. ”

"My lord made fun of it, no matter what crime Xu Ping is guilty of, the lower officials will at least have to fall into the fault of not being strict in governing the country, and it may affect the annual examination of our province at that time."

Nie Bao smiled slightly, stared at Zhao Wenhua thoughtfully, was silent for a while, and then turned to Xu Ping, "Xu Ping, how do you feel about Governor Zhao's move?" ”

Yes? Xu Ping finally came to his senses, hey, this bastard is afraid that I will drag him into the water, damn, barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, Lao Tzu is a bird for you, I will simply fight you to the end today.

With dull eyes and a stiff neck, Xu Ping squinted at Fang Liang at 45 degrees, "Go back to my lord, I have nothing to say, I should be punished if I make a mistake, please send me to Beijing immediately." ”

The second goods, as expected, deserved their reputation, this guy didn't even let go of himself. Zhao Wenhua was shocked in his heart, cold sweat secreted from his forehead, and he couldn't take too much care of it at the moment, so he knelt down and said: "Lord Zhangtai, I read that Xu Ping is young and does not understand the world, please be extrajudicial and give him and Yanping Mansion a chance."

Seeing this, the rest of the people also pleaded for mercy, on the other hand, Xu Pingyi's face was full of stubbornness and did not squint, and he muttered to himself: "The law is not merciful, please send someone to escort me to Beijing immediately......"

Nie Bao looked at each other with the political envoy and the envoy, and finally waved his hand and said: "It's ridiculous, let's discuss it here today, and all the adults, please go back." Come! Temporarily imprisoned Xu Ping, as for whether it is a blessing or a curse, it depends on personal creation. ”
