Chapter 59: Killing Disasters and Strategies (3)
"Calm down first," Hu Qi sat down on the chair next to him, and drank a bowl of tea in a panic, "Saying that in front, everything will be over if you are in a hurry." ”
Wan Heshun looked surprised, and it took a moment to calm down, and he nodded slowly.
"While we were still discussing, Lu Fangxuan had already sent someone to the yamen to complain about the unjust killing of the dyer. Although the window paper has been pierced before, no one has proved it, and it is still reassuring; But today, it is said that ...... It is said that the former Wang Shangshu was invited. Huchi sighed again after speaking with difficulty.
"Wang ......" Wan Heshun turned his mind hard, and suddenly remembered: "Isn't that the Ministry of Works?" ”
"Yes."
"Isn't he dead?!" Wan Heshun jumped up, his face pale.
"Hu doesn't know," Hu Qi saw that he couldn't control his emotions, and his heart became even more nervous, "I guess, I guess...... Forget it, I don't know anything. ”
"It must be Wei Chong's guy!" Wan He Shun couldn't bear it, "He must have concealed me at the beginning, and I don't know what means he used to release him privately, so that he will suffer endlessly after today!" ”
Hu Qi angrily kowtowed and said, "Please kill this thief quickly to thank the world!" ”
"I also have the heart to get rid of it. However, it can kill two birds with one stone, so that you can't go home empty-handed. ”
All the henchmen came up and arched their hands: "I want to hear about it." ”
"The Lu Party has also used Wei Chong many times, and there are a lot of stains on his body. We will not be in a hurry to kill him first, let Hu Shangshu fabricate the charges, and point out how he shielded Qi Shi and how he accepted the stolen money, and then we can ask the Lu Party about the big crime. One solution to the near fire, the other to eliminate the long-term concern, isn't it killing two birds with one stone? ”
Huchi then realized and hurriedly accepted the order.
As Hu Qi said, Lu Fangxuan's posture can really be called fanfare. He was very well prepared, and as early as when Qi Shi was not dead, he had secretly sent someone to make an appointment with Wang Xiancheng, so that the latter could make a good calculation; Now that the portal was cleaned up, Lu Fangxuan hurriedly organized a team of thirty or fifty people and went to the restaurant to greet Wang Xiancheng.
Seeing that the time was approaching, Wang Xiancheng hurriedly ran upstairs, opened the window, and saw dozens of people riding high-headed horses on the street, carrying a wooden sign in the middle, with four large embroidered gold characters written on it: "All the people, all the fathers, Wan Heshun is an important minister of the country, but he does not cultivate virtue, covers up the facts, and pretends to be a gentleman, so that you will not recognize his face. Now that the Ministry of Wang Gong has returned, he wants to ruthlessly expose the thief and avenge the people! ”
There are more and more people gathered around, and this Wang Xiancheng also has the confidence to walk out of the restaurant heroically, and shouted: "I am the former Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry!" ”
"Good!" The head hugged him on his horse, grabbed the bridle, and then said to the people: "I think there have been a lot of rumors in the past two days, and I am afraid that you will not be able to distinguish the truth from the false." If you want to know the facts, follow us to the Yamen! ”
With that, he threw the notice, which paused for a moment in the wind, and when it landed, it was crushed by the people who were chasing the truth, and it was torn apart.
When Ye Yongjia was sick at home, the person sitting in the office was the same acquaintance, and he heard that a large number of people came outside, vying for the opening of the church, so he hastily changed his official uniform and was promoted to the director of the church.
"The name of the complainant is common, who is the complaint!"
The water and fire sticks on both sides swung up, and Tongzhi Xingmu patted it, and brought Wang Xiancheng up.
The county Cheng hesitated for a while, then gave up his son, knelt down and said: "The surname is Wang, now the county Cheng of Chaoxian County, the former official worshiped the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, sued Wei Chong, and Wan Heshun. ”
Tongzhi's eyes widened, and his newly appointed mind was confused: "Bold! Dare to pretend to be an official and privately discuss the king of the county, what crime should he be guilty of? Drag it down and hand it over to the palace for disposal! ”
"Slow, you know that you are a fox and a fake tiger, it's amazing!" The officer in Yue Fu climbed over the railing and rushed up to him and reprimanded him harshly.
Tongzhi recognized the people of the Lu Party, so he didn't dare to stir up the situation anymore, and asked Wang Xiancheng's words: "That...... So what do you want to sue him? ”
"Back then, because Wan Heshun covered up the dyeing workshop, a dyer became a scapegoat. But before he died, he sued the government, saying that the matter was artificially concealed and should be investigated; I was the Ministry of Works, and I was coerced by thieves to suppress this performance, but I still told the current prefect the truth, hoping to thoroughly investigate the case. Who knew that Wei Chong was instructed by Wan Heshun to burn the evidence documents, and he was afraid that I would tell the truth again, so he sent assassins to kill me. Fortunately, he was not at home, but the Assassin took revenge by killing all the servants of the Manchurian Palace, which was really shameful. I fled to Chao County, disappeared, and asked someone to do a new confession, so that I could get a petty official in the county. Now there is not enough food, no warm clothes, and almost a family is ruined. I couldn't help it, so I came to explore the wolf's den in person, and I had to fight hard! ”
When everyone heard this, they clapped their hands and applauded, causing an uproar.
Tongzhi hurriedly patted Xingmu a few times, and said to Wang Xiancheng: "You have a little courage." However, this matter needs to be investigated in detail, so let you leave with the people first and discuss it slowly. ”
Wang Xiancheng said with a smile: "Even if I go to investigate, there are a lot of documents left over from the case of the dyeing workshop, which can be corroborated." ”
Wan Heshun was still collecting Wei Chong's charges, but who knew that Lu Fangxuan was about to go to him for an hour and had already sued Wei Chong. He hurriedly stopped this plan of killing two birds with one stone, and said to Hu Qi: "I thought that Wang Shangshu couldn't tell Wei Chong about it, but who knew that this first sentence was aimed at Wei Chong, it seems that Lu Fangxuan also wanted him to die." ”
Hu Qi hurriedly interjected: "Then this two-pronged approach, can't Wei Chong be punished for death?" ”
"Wei Chong is a small matter, but it is related to my crime. Lu Fangxuan's little was much lighter than this unjust killing of the dyer. If I insist on killing him, I will be the only one who will suffer, how can I kill two birds with one stone? ”
Hu Qi gritted his teeth: "So far, there is no turning back from the bow." When the investigation is not yet clear, quickly arrest Wei Chong, and there is a glimmer of life. ”
Wan Heshun was noncommittal, just looked at the sky that was about to dusk.
Within a few days, the palace issued an official document, enumerating Wei Chong's sins, and stating that those who obtained this person would be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver. But the people didn't believe it, and they were afraid that Wanfu would kill people and destroy their mouths, so no one dared to risk killing their heads for this silver in a short period of time.
The greedy people did not wait, followed by the arrest documents of the government, and also offered a reward of 500 taels to catch the thief, so the city was full of wind and rain, and the whole Nanjing was in an uproar.
Wei Chongdong hid in Tibet and slept in a dark alley for two days, extremely frightened every day. He thought that he couldn't hide, so he calculated: 'Although both sides come to arrest me, Lu Gong has less hatred, and treats me enthusiastically, why don't you beg for mercy in front of you, and you are breaking the idea of ten thousand parties!' After thinking about it, he was still complacent, and resolutely walked out of the dark alley.
