Chapter 406: Several reversals
Niu Xianlin didn't expect that he had already spoken to this point, and Qiu Shan actually dared to come!
If you can really get along with Cui Pu, they are all hot-headed people at every turn. Relying on his youth, he thought he could change the world. But as everyone knows, the only thing they can change is their own destiny - and the more they change, the worse it gets!
"Is that so? On the surface, he still looks safe and steady.
Qiu Shan respectfully handed over the Geng post to the officer, and then the officer forwarded it to Niu Xianlin. Niu Xianlin probably glanced at it, and then said to the Yuan Jie Du envoy and the others: "You all should take a look!"
At the same time as they passed on the Geng post, Qiu Shan said: "Ten years ago, Cao Niangzi had an asthma attack, and the Cao family asked for a doctor everywhere, and begged his father several times. My father was also helpless at that time, and it happened that the Mu family sent Mu Liuniang over again - it is now Mrs. Cui Zhifu. My father benefited a lot from Mrs. Cui's treatment of the disease. And Mrs. Cui Zhifu couldn't stay by Cao Niangzi's side every day to give her acupuncture medication because of physical reasons, so she entrusted the matter to her father. During the period of treating Cao Niangzi, his father had frequent contacts with Cao Changan, and the two became close friends. ”
And Cao Changan has been distressed by Cao Niangzi's illness, lest she will still be tormented by this disease after she gets married, so he thinks of marrying her to a husband who knows how to heal, so that she can be diagnosed and treated in time when she is sick. When he learned that he had not yet decided to marry, he had this thought. And my father treated Cao Niangzi in those days, and he was also very satisfied with her gentle and lovely temperament. The two elders hit it off and decided on the family affair. There is also a poem written by Cao Changan on the night of the marriage, and I invite you to take a look. ”
After reading the Geng post, everyone read the poems sent by Qiu Shan, and the envoy of Yuan Jie said: "These papers are indeed not short in the year, and the payment on them is also Cao Chang'an's." It's just that the old man is a rough man, and he has never seen Cao Niangzi's grandfather, so he doesn't know if these things are from him, so it's inconvenient to express his opinion. So I'd better leave this matter to Niu Deposed so that you can draw conclusions!"
Dai Ziang and others originally came to join in the fun, so naturally they would not express their opinions, and they also refused to do so.
When Niu Xianlin saw these things, he also secretly screamed in his heart for trouble. I really didn't expect that this group of people would even prepare this thing! In this way, even if Xiao Changshi came over, he would not be able to resist the Qiu family. After all, the Cao family married their daughter to the Qiu family first! There is always a first to come in everything, even if he is not satisfied, he can only blame Cao Changan under Jiuquan.
Moreover, as far as his eyes could see, the handwriting in front of him was really from Cao Shu's grandfather!
What's going on? Could it be that Cao Shu was really married to the Qiu family earlier? But if this is the case, where did the Cao family have the courage to promise her to Xiao Changshi later?
Although his heart was stirred up by the sudden appearance of a few pieces of paper, he still said in a deep voice: "Although this official has had a few encounters with Cao Changan, he is not familiar with his font. In this way, the official will now order someone to go to Chang'an, take Cao Chang'an's handwriting, and compare it again. ”
"Thank you Niu for being wise and martial!" Qiu Shan heard this, and immediately bowed down.
Cao Shu also sobbed and said: "The little girl also has a reluctant request, begging Niu to depose you so that you can also bring the little girl's great-grandmother to Yangzhou! In any case, please bring her back and let the prefect give her a few more injections, and then cure the disease first. As long as her illness can be cured, no matter how much she sues the little girl for disobedience, the little girl is willing to accept the punishment!"
Anyway, I can't afford to bow down for a long time.
Heart disease, also known as neuropathy in later generations. If it can really be proved that Mrs. Cao has this problem, then they can overturn all her previous confessions. After all, how can you take what neuropathy says seriously?
I can't see that this group of children is quite flexible in their minds! They all know that they can use their strengths to directly draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle. As long as Mrs. Cao suffers from heart disease, then all problems can be solved!
Seeing this, Cui Pu also coughed lightly: "The fact that Mrs. Cao suffers from heart disease, the people in Yangzhou City can testify." Since she came here, she has been beating or scolding people almost every day, and she often runs out to tease the young and beautiful Xiao Langjun, and many Xiao Langjun in Yangzhou City have suffered from it. If you don't believe me, go out and ask someone now. ”
As long as this matter is confirmed, Cao Shu's charge of imprisoning Mrs. Cao can be invalidated again. A neurotic old lady, it is the most correct choice to lock her up at home and prevent her from going crazy and harming people, right? This has nothing to do with filial piety, but to ensure the personal safety of the people in Yangzhou City!
I didn't expect that this group of people could actually do things to this point!
It's really not easy, he still underestimates them!
When Dai Ziang and Chen Junbi heard this, the excitement in their hearts couldn't help but calm down a lot.
Cao Shu was already crying anymore. "For the sake of my great-grandmother's old age and good health, I beg you to answer the little girl's request! The little girl really does not want to wait for the little girl to be imprisoned, and the great-grandmother will end up sick and unattended. After all, she was cured, and the little girl could rest assured that she could live alone outside. ”
A junior's filial piety to his elders, who can refuse?
"It's just to bring an old man from Chang'an to Yangzhou, anyway, you have to go back to Yangzhou to get things, and it's not a big deal to bring people over by the way, right?" Cui Pu took advantage of the situation and said again, with obvious pride in his eyes.
This young man, he can't hold his breath now?
Before Mrs. Cao came, did he already foresee that he was going to win?
Niu Xianlin chuckled in his heart, and then bowed his head and said: "Since this is the case, then by the way, let someone bring Old Madam Cao here! This official has already said that he will not wronged a good person, and he will definitely not let go of a bad person!"
"Niu Dethroned Envoy is really wise!" Cui Pu hurriedly got up and shouted.
Seeing this, Dai Ziang and Chen Junbi also spoke out one after another.
Niu Xianlin stroked his beard proudly, but said: "The case has not yet been concluded, where is it decided so quickly?
"No problem, presumably when Mrs. Cao arrives, this case will be closed soon!" Cui Pu smiled and smiled, really smiling.
The experience in officialdom over the years has made him a lot older. The erosion of time has also made his facial contours much stiffer, although his facial features are still good, but coupled with the cover of his deliberately grown beard, his handsomeness has been somewhat reduced.
But now, he suddenly chuckled smugly, which added a bit of childishness to his whole body. The handsomeness that was concealed was also revealed, and the Zhilan jade tree was so graceful that people could hardly take their eyes off it.
What a handsome Lang Jun! At a young age, his means are already very good. It's a pity...... Hey, that's a shame.
Niu Xianlin thought in his heart, so he ordered to retreat, and Cao Shu continued to be imprisoned.
Since he is going back to Chang'an to collect evidence this time, the next trial will inevitably be postponed. Dai Ziang and Chen Junbi are also people with official positions, and it is impossible for them to stay here for so long. After retreating, Niu Xianlin ordered them to go back first, and it was not too late for the waiting for the physical evidence to be transported from Chang'an.
Dai Ziang felt that something was wrong, and before leaving, he still came to Niu Xianlin once: "Niu deposed the envoy, and the lower officials thought that this Cui Zhifu's mind was not as shallow as he appeared. Now their move has dragged on for another month or two. And who knows how many things they can toss in a month or two? ”
"This official has thought of this a long time ago. You don't have to worry about it, the official has his own opinions. Niu Xianlin said confidently.
Hearing him say this, Dai Ziang didn't say anything more, and quickly retreated.
Here, Niu Xianlin quickly sent people to Chang'an to get Cao Shu's grandfather's handwriting, and also arranged for someone to pick up Mrs. Cao to come to Yangzhou. However, Mrs. Cao is old, so she can only take her time by water. Niu Xianlin asked the person who picked her up to walk slowly, and the person with the handwriting did not have to delay time, and went back quickly.
Therefore, in just half a month, Cao Chang'an's handwriting was brought back!
And just two days before the handwriting was brought back, there was a sudden fire in the archives of the government office. Just because the keeper of the file accidentally knocked down the candle flame when he was asleep, he lit a series of confessions and evidence at hand.
Aren't the evidence that he kept at his hand and kept closely guarded the confession of Mrs. Cao, as well as the Geng post handed over by Qiu Shan that day?
After learning the news, Niu Xianlin was furious, severely punished the person guarding the file, and then turned back to Cui Pu and said: "Governor Cui, what do you say is good now? Old Madam Cao's confession is easy to handle, just copy it when she comes." But this Geng post and other things...... Is there a backup on the Qiu family's side?"
Moreover, even if the Qiu family really copied one copy and kept it in their hands, it would be a fake when they took it out, and it could not be used as evidence. And if they come up with a real one, then what is the previous one? If so, Niu Xianlin can directly punish them for the crime of bullying the king!
Niu Xianlin's words seemed to be asking him for his idea, but in fact, he was deliberately disgusting him-weren't you quite capable and proud before? Even if you can prove that Mrs. Cao suffers from heart disease, the evidence that Cao Shu and the Qiu family have already married is gone, and we can still punish her for the crime of committing an official offense!
Cui Pu was also trembling with anger.
"This person who reads the file is too irresponsible! The lower official begged Niu to depose him, so that you must teach him a good lesson, and also give a warning to everyone in the official mansion, so that everyone will use him as a negative teaching material, and you must not take it lightly in the future!"
"It's nature. Needless to say, this official will do the same. Niu Xianlin nodded hurriedly. After a while, he sighed again, "Hey, it's not good to talk about it." The official originally thought that he had followed the official for so many years, and he was the most cautious, and he would be fine if he handed over the file to him for safekeeping. The result who knows...... Hey, he just made a mistake! That's it, now that the local official doesn't dare to let go of his own people anymore, Governor Cui, look at who is the most stable and reliable around you, then send whom!"
Oh, the evidence has been ruined by you, and of course you don't care about that place. Useless things, just throw them away, this is your style of doing things.
The corners of Cui Pu's mouth twitched: "Now it's the only way to go." Now that the lower officials have sent someone over, they must take a good look at the files, and there will never be any more negligence!"
"Then everything will be handed over to you Governor Cui!" Niu Xianlin patted him on the shoulder happily, looking like he had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
Cui Pu flattened his mouth again, looking very unhappy.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Niu Xianlin was in a better mood, so he said: "But you don't have to be discouraged, it's good that Geng Ti and Yuan Jie Du have made many people see it! She's an elder, wouldn't she know that this can't happen?"
If Mrs. Cao knew, how could she give Cao Shu to Xiao Changshi as a concubine?
Cui Pu couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Then wait! Anyway, I firmly believe that evil cannot prevail over good!"
"That's right, this official thinks so too!" Niu Xianlin nodded happily.
