Chapter 66: The Axiom of Might
When Da Kui and Pan Bu went to Zhoushan Island, they landed at the 'gate' of Songjiang Mansion.
Out of the 'door'.Da Kui and Panbu rode their horses and followed the family's carriage in the restaurant.After all, it was a matter of human life.Although the old man in the carriage was anxious, he drove the carriage all the way to trot.
The mountain road was bumpy and difficult, and the carriage kept ringing all the way, but the old man kept urging, "Hurry, hurry."
His son's pillar kept swinging his whip on the buttocks of the horse pulling the cart. The horse pulling the cart was an ordinary ploughing horse.
Da Kui secretly instructed Pan Budao: "You go with them to Qingpu County, secretly investigate the ins and outs of this murder case, and I will go to Songjiang Mansion to invite Lord He. Panbu nodded and agreed.Da Kui rode his horse to the side of the carriage alone.Only then did he smile and say, "Brother.If you go forward, you and I will go our separate ways.Then go down to Songjiang Mansion and ask my nephew to go to Qingpu County together.You guys go slow down first."
The old man sat in the car and just nodded slightly.It seems that he doesn't believe Da Kui's words.It's no wonder.A person in a hurry encounters this kind of thing.Just because of a meal.And it's so coincidental.The prefect of Songjiang Mansion is his nephew.Besides, it doesn't look like his age.This person is just nonsense.The old man naturally ignores it.
Seeing the old man's attitude, Da Kui naturally understood the mystery in his heart, followed the carriage at the foot of the mountain, and on the fork in the road.
He Chongzhi, the prefect of Songjiang, was very suspicious and confused. Why did the envoy of Jiangnan Tongzheng go and return, but Da Kui did not explain to him, but only said one sentence: "The officials of Qingpu County under your rule have a bad record of corruption. You can go to Qingpu with me to find out." This sentence is tantamount to a life-urging charm, which scared He Chongzhi so much that he almost pulled his 'pants'.
Emperor Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang, rectified the rule of officials, and at the first order, 30,000 heads fell to the ground, and many of them were implicated.
On the way, Da Kui advised: "This official is on a micro-service visit, I don't want to attract attention, you can only call my uncle to the outside world."
Although He Chongzhi didn't know why, he was still full of promises, and muttered in his heart: "If you can turn evil into good fortune this time, don't say that you are a nephew, even your grandson deserves it."
Da Kui and He Chongzhi, the prefect of Songjiang, took more than ten fast catches, all of them were hussars, and they raised the wind and dust all the way, and they came through Qingpu County, and they arrived at Qingpu County in the evening.
This Qingpu County is located in the Yangtze River Delta, Taihu Plain, a radius of 1,200 miles, east and Shanghai County as neighbors, south and Songjiang County, Jinshan County, Zhejiang Jiashan County, west and Jiangsu Wujiang County, Kunshan County adjacent, north along the Wusong River and Jiading County, to the northeast of the county border Qinglong Town (now the old Qingpu Town), east of the east of Wupu (Zhaotun, Daying, Guhui, Panlong, Songzi) converge in the Wusong River, so the name Qingpu, the east and west of the county two broad, the middle is narrow, the shape is like a colorful butterfly wings.
As the saying goes: Although the sparrow is small, although the five organs are complete, although this Qingpu County is a small county, but this restaurant inn is quite exquisite.
The front hall of this inn is a restaurant.A cadre waited until the front hall of the inn.When they got to the second floor, they found a table by the window and sat down.,Those catchers stood on one side and didn't dare to sit down.
Da Kui greeted with a smile: "You wait for your own seat, just order whatever you want to eat, don't be afraid of 'spending' money."
However, all the officials and governments are full of local young people, who go to the fields to farm in their spare time, and go back to the government to do errands when they are busy.
Songjiang prefect He Chongzhi heard this, but he saw sweat on his forehead. As the prefect of Songjiang, this Qingpu County is under the rule.
If you really listen to the words of the general government envoy, you can eat whatever you want. I'm afraid that I can't afford to sell myself.
When He Chongzhi was in a dilemma, the shopkeeper Xiao Er walked upstairs and came to the table, bowed down and asked, "My lord, I don't know what you want to eat." He Chongzhi walked in a hurry, still wearing an official uniform, so the shopkeeper asked him first.
He Chongzhi smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, today is a family banquet, this is my uncle, the second brother can ask him what the old man likes to eat." Saying that, He Chongzhi stretched out his hand and made a recommendation.
"Oh, it turns out that the adult's uncle has arrived, and the little one has eyes and doesn't know Tarzan, so he accuses and accuses." Xiao Er turned his face and waved at Da Kui again, but if you look closely, this uncle is younger than the nephew's age.
Da Kui was not polite, and Da Ma Jin Dao began to order: "Taihu carp, steamed soft-shelled turtle, Sixi meatballs, crystal elbow, and then serve four vegetarian dishes." After thinking about it, Da Kui said, "Another soup, what are you good at here?"
Xiao Er heard what Da Kui said that the head was Dao, and knew that this was a rich man, and he smiled politely at the moment: "Although the small shop is a despicable place in the countryside, there is still seafood here.
Da Kui nodded without even thinking about it, "Well, it's him." Xiao Er wrote them down one by one, turned around and left, who knew that Da Kui raised his voice and said, "Go to two tables, and give these grandfathers a table too."
"Okay." Xiao Er's promise was very refreshing.Na Chengxiang said that as soon as the voice fell, he 'poof'. He Chongzhi, who was sitting opposite Da Kui, was gone.It turned out that He Chongzhi had begun to sweat profusely after listening to the name of Da Kui's dish.
"Hey, why is Lord Ho like this?" Da Kui naturally knew it, but he still asked funny.
Hearing the sound, the catchers who had already come quickly stepped forward to help He Chongzhi up. He Chongzhi gasped and said, "Xiaguan... The lower officials are not good at riding horses and running 'waves', and I think it is due to fatigue that some 'legs' are weak."
When He Chongzhi sat down again, Da Kui said with concern: "Lord He is '' for the people, but he is weak, it's time to make up for it. As he spoke, Da Kui instructed, "Go and call the store."
Hearing that someone got up and wanted to go downstairs, He Chongzhi hurriedly got up and bypassed the table to Da Kui. As he spoke, he was about to bow his head.
Seeing this, Da Kui hurriedly got up and came over to help He Chongzhi up, and said earnestly: "Why do you want to see the outside like this, you and I both serve the imperial court, and mutual compassion should also be beneficial." Da Kui paused and said, "Sit down."
He Chongzhi returned to the table and sat down in his heart. Da Kui smiled and said, "It's just one dish. Da Kui is purely joking this time. He really likes to see others eat deflated. This He Chongzhi has a very good reputation among the people in Songjiang Mansion.
He Chongzhi lived a frugal life, was diligent and honest, and although he had a wife in his family, this 'woman' was no different from the lion of Hedong. Perhaps He Chongzhi's thrift was related to his wife's temperament, but this was not a good thing.
Da Kui and He Chongzhi were having fun, and a person came up downstairs.
He walked to Da Kui and said, "Father-in-law, the matter has been clarified, the criminal Zeng Xihuai is a cattle dealer, and there are seven out of forty this year. The tax collector Wu Jiyuan is the younger brother of Wu Jiheng, the county magistrate of this county.
Da Kui nodded when he heard this, thinking that it should be Wu Jiyuan who pulled the banner to make a tiger skin for the disaster.
"Excuse me, order some good dishes for my father." Da Kui said to Panbu with a smile.
"Hey." Hearing this, Panbu was very happy, and immediately went around the table and sat down under Da Kui.
At this moment, several shopkeepers brought the wine and food and fish upstairs, and when the wine and food were arranged, Da Kui instructed Pan Budao: "Pour wine for He Chongzhi and Lord He."
Panbu got up, held the wine jug, and respectfully poured wine for He Chongzhi.Since the righteous father said to pour wine for others, then this person must be outstanding.Although Panbu is sincere, but the mystery is very deep. Panbu then gave Da Kui a full glass of wine before he sat down.
Da Kui took the wine glass and said with a smile on his face: "This first glass of wine. As he spoke, he drank the wine in his glass first.
He Chongzhi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately accompanied him to drink a glass.
Da Kui picked up the cup and said, "This second cup of wine is to Lord He, the parents of the people, and the people love it." After that, Da Kui drank another glass, and He Chongzhi accompanied him to drink a glass of wine.
"The third cup of wine is a toast to Lord He, may Lord He be able to ask for the people's life and judge the case fairly." Da Kui's tone revealed a little determination.
He Chongzhi couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Why did Master Zhang say this?"
Da Kui said: "Lord He might as well drink and talk about it."
He Chongzhi immediately drank the wine according to his words, and Da Kui drank it with him, and then he explained the reason in detail: "It is said that Zeng Xihuai killed and injured people this time, and it was the government tax collector who died. Yu Gong should be beheaded. But the tax collector Wu Jiyuan is notorious.
When He Chongzhi heard this, he knew Da Kui's original intention, and then he arched his hand and said: "Lord Zhang's meaning, the lower official understands, if there is indeed a hidden secret, the lower official will exonerate Zeng Xihuai, but if Zeng Xihuai does have illegal wrongdoing, then what should this official do." He Chongzhi's sentence is a pun, he wants to see the true meaning of Da Kui...
