Chapter 121: Is Lord Chen a villain?
Twenty years ago, Lingnan suddenly encountered a once-in-a-century catastrophic flood, the imperial court ordered the second prince to be the Qincha, escorting millions of silver and supplies to Lingnan for disaster relief, just entered Lingnan, the materials were robbed by bandits, the second prince was seriously injured, and millions of silver were missing.
The supplies were gone, the silver was gone, the people had lost their homes, and they only relied on the daily porridge sent by the government to survive their lives, and because of the great flood, countless people and livestock died in the flood, and after the water receded, it soon turned into a plague.
As the governor, Lord Li was naturally anxious, and he personally took the doctor of the prefecture and the magistrate of the county below, and led the doctors of the entire Lingnan to fight on the front line every day, and often could not return home once for five or six days.
Rao is like this, there are still hundreds of people who died because of floods and plagues, but on the whole, this battle against disasters and plagues is won, Lord Li didn't think about asking the court to reward something, he just wanted to rest and spend more time with the two sons and the only daughter in the family.
But he didn't want the second prince to return to Beijing after being injured, and immediately put the responsibility for the loss of disaster relief silver and the robbery of materials on Lord Li's head.
The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and finally all kinds of evidence pointed to the fact that Lord Li was greedy for the million disaster relief silver, and Lord Li was speechless, but at this time, the only beloved daughter was robbed again, and he was nowhere to be found, so Lord Li confessed to the crime, and used the name of the million disaster relief silver as a reward, in order to find his beloved daughter.
So how did Lord Chen, a young Beijing official who had just entered the officialdom at that time, get in touch with the corruption case in Lingnan?
"Probably because of me." Jiang Wuyu spoke.
Jiang Wuyu came from the imperial city, before Lord Li became the governor of Liangguang, the two families were next to each other, Jiang Wuyu and the two sons of the Li family grew up together, and when he was six years old, he ushered in the little lady Li Luo, when Li Luo was six years old, Li Lord was sent out, and the two families ordered a baby kiss for the two.
The teenage Jiang Wuyu will be a man of the year in the capital, riding a horse and archery, excellent in literature and martial arts, Chen has regarded him as his own role model since he was a child, Jiang Wuyu became the youngest leader in the history of the six doors at the age of twenty-two, and three years later, Chen also won the examination and officially entered the officialdom.
When the corruption case of Lord Li reached the capital, Jiang Wuyu went to Lingnan without saying a word, and Lord Chen overheard the banquet host talking to people during a banquet, saying that he would kill Jiang Wuyu and let him carry the infamy after his death.
He thought of some ways to sneak into the study of the banquet host, in the dark room of the study, he found a lot of letters and documents, he originally wanted to send those things to Jiang Wuyu, but he accidentally found that the six doors were out of the ghost.
Later, the news came that Li Luo was missing and Jiang Wuyu left the six doors, so Lord Chen invited himself to be sent and took these things to his post, thinking that one day he would meet Jiang Wuyu and then hand over those things to him, during which he saved Li Luo, who was transferred two or three times, and was finally taken to Yuzhou by the peach red monkey spirit.
At that time, Li Luo had lost his soul in extreme panic, which led to amnesia, and Lord Chen thought that it was not worth it for Jiang Wuyu to give up a good future for this woman, so he took the initiative to give Li Luo to Zhou Wenchu of Peach Blossom Village, and later Zhu Yan was pitted by the ghosts of the six doors, and Lord Chen deceived her to Taohua County with Li Luo's whereabouts, and trapped in Yaxing.
The past is very clear, but as to whether the two students were his hands, he did not mention a word, only that he must hand over these materials to Zhao Yunjing and Zhou Mujiao.
After reading the information, Zhou Mujiao was in a complicated mood.
They all thought that Lord Chen was a villain, but it turned out that he was able to steal the case case for the sake of Jiang Wu fisherman, knowing that there were internal ghosts in the six doors, he did not throw away the case file at will for peace, but invited himself out of Beijing to take the file away, and did not let the real person make a fuss about the file.
But if you want to say that he is a loyal and righteous person, he has trapped Zhu Yan for more than ten years, and when Li Luo lost his memory, he selfishly married her, artificially rewriting her entire life, resulting in Zhou Mujiao and Xiao Wu's miserable childhood, and now the two students died tragically, and I don't know if it is related to him.
She turned her head to look at Chen Gongzi, Chen Gongzi pursed his lips tightly, but did not speak, and the hand holding the paper trembled slightly.
Zhao Yunjing took the paper from his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Chen, you-"
"Don't touch me!"
Chen Gongzi suddenly collapsed, pointed at Zhao Yunjing, and then pointed at Zhou Mujiao: "It's all you!" It's all you! If it weren't for you, my dad wouldn't have died! You forced him to death! I won't forgive you! I will never forgive! ”
Chen Gongzi ran out, Lord Zhao shook his head, and asked Jiang Wuyu what to do with Lord Chen.
Jiang Wuyu didn't answer immediately, but looked at Zhao Yunjing: "What does Zhao Gongzi think?" ”
"If it is found out that the deaths of the next two classmates have nothing to do with Master Chen...... Zhao Yunjing thought for a while, "then it will be announced to the public that it is an emergency illness." If Lord Chen kills someone......"
Zhou Mujiao said: "The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people." ”
Lord Zhao and Jiang Wuyu glanced at each other, and both nodded secretly, thinking that Zhao Yunjing has talent and position, and he will go to officialdom in the future, if he meets a good leader, if he can still maintain his original intention today, he will definitely be a good official in the future.
As for the 'corruption case' of Lai Daren......
Lord Zhao said that he would hand over the fold to the imperial court and ask for a re-investigation, but: "These case files were brought out by Lord Chen at the risk of his life, and this official will not easily hand them over, and Lord Chen also specified that he will hand over the things to you...... Zhao Gongzi, the official has been waiting for you for three years, and if you can't get to the position after three years, the official can only hand over the case file to the six doors, and the official can't guarantee whether the six doors will be pressed down in the future. ”
looked at Zhou Mujiao again: "You are Miss Li's daughter?" This official has heard of Miss Li's reputation as the most beautiful in Lingnan, although she has not had the opportunity to meet her, but now when I look at you, I can imagine what kind of grace your mother was back then. ”
Then look at Jiang Wuyu: "Lord Jiang was also high-spirited back then, and Miss Li can be described as a golden boy and girl, but unfortunately the world is unpredictable, and creation makes people ......"
Jiang Wuyu's face was expressionless: "Lord Zhao is free to hurt the spring and autumn here, it is better to spend more energy to track down the real murderers who killed those two students!" ”
Lord Zhao took back the case file: "If the lower official is Lord Jiang, he will immediately investigate the matter of Lord Li, and return Lord Li's innocence as soon as possible, you are staying here now, in addition to the reason for Miss Zhou, there must be a deeper reason." Lord Jiang - Oh, you have already left the six doors, so I won't call you Lord Jiang.
Brother Jiang, listen to the next sentence of advice, in life, you must live more clearly, and you must be able to distinguish the importance clearly. To put it mildly, when I was in the position of Lord Chen, I would have made the same choice as him. ”
Jiang Wuyu turned around and left, this time he didn't even care about Zhou Mujiao, and walked away directly after leaving the yamen.
Zhou Mujiao stood in front of the yamen, thinking that Lord Zhao, who had shown his villain face a few nights ago, had not only passed away a few days, but also had an inextricable relationship with his family.
"Let's go to Sister-in-law Hu first, and I'll say a few words to Xiao Ran."
